FLASH: Buttons, Movie Clips and Tell Target

Buttons and Movie Clips


Buttons can control Movie Clips that are on the Main Timeline or Nested

in other Movie Clips that are on a Main timeline. You use Tell Target in

the Action Section of the Button's Instance Properties to control Movie

Clips.


Movie Clips can be placed in an Up, Over or Down button frame but the

Movie Clip will only be active during the active time of that Button

State.


A Movie Clip can only be controlled with Tell Target if it has an

Instance Name and a named path to a Main Movie Timeline. Since Buttons

do not have Instance Names, Movie Clips placed in them can NOT be

controlled by Tell Target.
