Tell target Plz Help

1

Hello,
I have created a list of buttons, which all use the tell target action. I have a seperate window where each button (on release) triggers its on movie clip. Everything works fine, as far as the movie clips running on the tell target action. (thanks to the fine tutorial on tell target here)

My problem is the movies are overlapping in the window.

How do I make the movie that is displayed from a button click go away when the next button is clicked??

I do want this movie to remain in the window until the next button is pressed.

Any help, greatly appeciated.

you could always use the same code to tell all the other targets to go back to where they started…

if you understand…

Thanks for the reply,
I sort of understand, what you are saying.
This is my code:
on (release) {
tellTarget (jeremytop) {
gotoAndPlay (1);
play ();
}
}
what would I add after this to make the other targets unload out of the window where I am displaying them?

Also what action would do this “unload”?

Thanks agian,

just tell them to gotandstop at the beginning…

if they were stopped to begin with, then just tell them to go back to that spot…

TellTarget is no longer supported… dot syntax is now used. I would get used to using dot syntax ASAP…

if you want, post your .fla, and I will see what you are doing.
