Im working on the advanced button tutorial,

on (rollOver) {  
tellTarget (“menu”) {  
gotoAndPlay (“text1”);  
}  
Menu is the movie clip name, I named my frames correctly…  
I keep getting this  
Target not found: Target="/menu" Base="\_level0"  
Target not found: Target="/menu" Base="\_level0"

so i dono exactly what to put for “telltarget”

tellTarget is out. The dot syntax method is easier to use and write.

[AS]on (rollOver) {  
menu.gotoAndPlay(“text1”);
