Hi all,  
So I went through the tellTarget and more tellTarget tutorials, and I’m pretty sure I grasped the concept.

So I have buttons on my project that I want to have animate one way on rollOver and another way on rollOut. Problem is, when I run my movie, I get the error “can’t find target”. I have spelled the movie correctly, I have added the / ("/graphics\_mc"). I can even see the movie clip in my library. And yet it can’t find it. I don’t understand. Can anyone help?

Interesting thing is, when I’m writing the actionscript and I try to use the crosshairs to reference my mc, it can’t see “graphics\_mc” and I don’t know why.

Thanks!!
