I got this to work fine with the buttons on the time line and I know he made a note stating that if the buttons were not on the time line you would have to target them correctly, this is where my question comes in. I have a sub menu that is embedded in a MC that rolls out after the button is clicked. Heres the code from the button on the timeline:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = “artslide”;
slides.loadMovie(“artslide.swf”);
} else if (_root.currMovie != “artslide”) {
if (slides._currentframe>= slides.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = “artslide”;
slides.play();
}
}
}
on (press) {
tellTarget (“mini”) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}
and then the submenu comes out and has:
on (release) {
if [color=red](_parent[/color].currMovie == undefined) {
[color=red]_parent[/color].currMovie = “gameslide”;
slides.loadMovie(“gameslide.swf”);
} else if [color=red](_parent[/color].currMovie != “gameslide”) {
if (slides._currentframe>= slides.midframe) {
[color=red]_parent[/color].currMovie = “gameslide”;
slides.play();
}
}
}
The highlighted parts is where I am trying to direct the target… Though I am wondering if this is correct and if so, what is the correct way to path this from inside a movie clip? Hope this makes sense, I would post the .fla files but they are just too large.
