Re: FLASH: Controlling Movies Within Timeline Of Main Movie

[John Croteau]

Hi John,


See Tell Target Paths:

http://www.FlashCentral.com/Tech/TellTarget/Index.htm


To control a movie clip from anywhere use a path from the root.

You can also target using relative paths.

You can issue commands from button instances or from movie clip or main

timeline frames.


Begin Tell Target  /MCInstance1

   Go to and Play

End Tell Target


If controlling from one movie clip to another you may have to issue

multiple commands:


Begin Tell Target  /MCInstance2

   Go to and Play    Label: Tools

End Tell Target

Go to and Stop       Label: Park
