Hi Rob,

> Using ../ in tell target is bad news, full stop, the same way it is in HTML.
Actually, .. other relative Tell Target paths work fine in Flash
without any problems, it is just many people get confused about relative
paths and therefore I suggest they use paths based on the main timeline
using the slash / for their general use. Also if you use a path based on
the main timeline (it starts with a /) then you can use the exact same
syntax any place in the movie.
