im a newbie…  
if tellTarget is deprecated in flash MX does that mean that it is not good to use it anymore?

also, i have this button under Scene1 (Scene1 \> mybutton)…  
and i have another Movie beside “mybutton”… i named the Movie beside the “button” - “mymovie”… the thing is, i CANT tellTarget “mymovie”… why???

does it work only on Scene1???
