Simple Tell Target? huh!!

[funkymonk]

O.K. This has confused me to the extreme. I am trying to target a movieClip from another movieClip which should be an easy task. Not for me! Here is what I am trying to do;

Trigger clip: I have a button within this clip (DropMenu)

on (release) {
tellTarget ("target&quot {
}
gotoAndStop (5);
}

Target clip: I have named this target.


This is what I get when I execute it:

Target not found: Target="target" Base="_level0.instance1"

Can anyone see where I am going wrong? If you need more info my e-mail: fallingthunder@hotmail.com

If both of your movies are on level0 (the main stage) then you can call each other like this. For example you have target1 then target2. Target1 can tell Target2 to go to frame 2 like this:


on (release) {
tellTarget ("_level0.target1&quot {
gotoAndStop (2);
}
}

You can string them together for forever (I think). When your moving "backwards" in the line you have to reference level0. That should do it.
