FLASH: CALL FUNCTION / TARGET PROBLEMS

[David Doggett]

Hello,


If anyone can help me with the situation below, I would greatly appreciate it.



Situation:


I have a game working on the main stage of my flash movie.  I also have a Movie Clip containing only code in a MC called "code".  This is used by the call function to keep code organized.


My problem is this. I have my game set up so that when you press the up or down keys it moves a boat on the screen forward or reverse.  For both actions, the Call ("/code:check for boat off screen") is used to see if the boat is off the screen or not.  Inside that code is a check to see if the target "boat" on the main stage is outside a specific area.


Well, I don't think I am targeting the "boat" MC correctly. Here is a layout of the situation:


MAIN STAGE:

                 - "BOAT" MC

                 - "CODE" MC


(From inside the "code" MC I want to target the "boat" MC)


Help is appreciated.


Sincerely,


Dave
