Re: FLASH: Tell Target question still not working

[Phil Ward]

You should move the 'Play' marker along a frame otherwise you send the play

command to a frame with a stop action in it....so it stops.


The first frame of your mc should have the stop action in it, frame 2 should

have the start of your anim sequence, the last can either have a stop action

or go to frame 1 if you wish to park the play head.


If  you need to when roll over the anim starts attach the tell target and

direct to the play marker, if you then require that the animation stops when

rolled off have another tell target which sends the playhead to frame 1.


Hope this makes sense.


Basically you  are currently sending the playhead to a stop frame.


Regards


Phil
