Tell Target with Buttons

programming flash
1

I am currently having a problem adding the Tell Target action to a button.

The following is the hierarchy of my timeline:

-Root
—Movie Clip (Instance Name=“FadeIn”)
------Button (Instance Name=“Button”)
----------Movie Clip (Instance Name=“About”)

The Movie Clip i’m trying to control is “About”. This MC is also placed within the ‘Over’ state of “Button”

I keep receiving the Target Not Found error in Base="_level0.FadeIn"

Any advice or Syntaxes would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need anymore required information.

Thanx in advance.

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

I am only trying to receive a Rollover and Rollout event. I have done these many times before without problems. Could it not be working because I placed the Movie Clip within the Buttons ‘Over’ State? If so,… Is there any other ways around this problem given that I MUST keep the current timeline hierarchy?

Thanx for your response.

Regards,

Aidan

i believe that you cannont path to Movieclip instances inside Buttons. you may need to create a movieclip instead of a button and apply the mouse out and over it that movie clip.
