first off you shouldn’t be using telltarget in MX, secondly I dont really understand what you’re problem is, if you posted the .fla it would be much more clear and I could explain the action script to you.
Peace

There was no need to create a whole new thread to attach a file to, you could have easily done it in a reply to this thread.

well, actually, i don’t know how to make this thing work…
I have 5 buttons, and the button 1 and 2, have animations, using telltarget.
When you hit the first one, you get the items. then, when you hit another one, i want to tell to the “dissapear” animation to play… but it is messy, ‘cause all of the dissapearing animations play at the same time. i want to make dissapear, only the button that was showing it’s contents before. DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO! :’(

And try this…
[AS]on (release) {
anim1.gotoAndPlay(“play”);
anim2.gotoAndPlay(“unplay”);
}[/AS]
The dot syntax replaces the annoying tellTarget syntax.

thanx for that, i didn’t knew it… but the point is… when i hit one button it will play all of the animations… not the “last button’s dissapear animation…” i wonder if “IF” is the solution?
