Re: [flasher] Tell Target and button strangeness

[Muzak]

Ran into exactly the same situation yesterday. No idea why it sometimes does and sometimes doesn't.

What i had was:

- main timeline - 2 labeled keyframes (pollView, pollVote), both with a stop() action

- MC with 2 buttons, each targeting one of the two labels in the main timeline.


When the movie was in the 'pollView' keyframe, selecting the button with the action _root.gotoAndPlay("pollView") would make it go

to the keyframe labeled "pollVote" - only after a few seconds - instead of not doing anything, since it was already at that

keyframe.

On the other hand, when the movie was at the 'pollVote' keyframe, selecting the button with action _root.gotoAndPlay("pollVote")

wouldn't do anything (as expected).

Changing the actions to _root.gotoAndStop() did the trick here as well. Still I find it a bit odd that the stop() action in the main

timeline is sometimes ignored.


Hope this helps anyone who might run into this in future :-)
