brian,
it's impossible to say for sure what's causing your problem without
seeing the .fla, but i can offer this weirdness that may or may not be a
contributor:
a movie clip placed on a keyframe will ignore "play" actions it receives
via tell target that occur on the same frame. this is a demonstrable
behaviour. you can workaround this by placing the movie clip on a
keyframe one frame prior to the tell target action.
in your case it's a button, but if that button is placed on the same
frame as the clip, and you press it quickly enough, perhaps the same
result would occur.
just a thought...

Subject: FLASH: Tell target frustration
Flashers,
I'm having a problem with tell targets. I have 2 movies: one in level0
and
one in level2. The movie in level2 is called by load movie in level0.
When
I click on a button in level2 it closes performs a tell target to level0
to
go to and play a certain label/frame number.
What's frustrating is that SOMETIMES it works. I can play the same
sequence
of frames and 4 out of 5 times it will work. Is there something wrong
with
the way I'm doing the tell target?
Here's the code that calls the label in level0 from level2:
If (_level0:clickedbutton eq "employment")
Begin Tell Target ("_level0")
Go to and Play ("employment")
End Tell Target
Else
Begin Tell Target ("_level0")
Go to and Play (clickedbutton)
End Tell Target
End If
Stop
Please help!!!!
TIA
