Scenario : Your script is in a movie that is to be embedded into an .swt movie, the .swt spans multiple scenes and you want to target one of those scenes other than the first scene from within the embedded movie. So you do the usual tell Target ("scene3", 6) but it keeps restarting to the Scene1, Frame 1 when you explicitly targeted "scene3, frame 6" this targeting system works with .swf files but not .swt!!! why??!!. I suddenly had a revelation. Flash movies exported in .swt format DO NOT retain any scene structures and therefore Scenes that you create in the authoring environment will not be referenced in the runtime environemnt. So the workaround when you Tell Target is to reference it to only a FRAME LABEL rather than a the Scene and frame number because in my experiences, that does not work when you export to an *.swt

Hope this has helped prevent any frustrations and agony.
