Hello,
I am making a movie which has a movie in it which has another movie in it. That movie has a button in it.
I want this button to target the second movie and tell it to move to the second frame. Here is the hierarchy:
menu1
menu2 the frames that need to refrenced
menu3
menu4 the button resides in this movie
all the menus are instances; i have named them.
My problem is that when I tell the button to target menu2;
the swf comes back with an error.
This is my code in the button:
on (press) {
gotoAndStop (2);
tellTarget ("/menu1/menu2/menu3") {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
}
this is the error i receive:
Target not found: Target="/menu1/menu2/menu3" Base="_level0.instance15.menu2.menu3.menu4"
If i eliminate all the menu commands, and only leave the root in the path, the codeworks fine except it will target the stage's frames and not the movies.
any thoughts?

try
on (release) {
_parent._parent.gotoAndStop(2);
}
or
on (release) {
_root.menu1.menu2.gotoAndStop(2);
}
I hope one of these is of help.

Thanks
But it did not work.
i cannot figure it out. It seems like a straight forward method to do this but, it just wont work.
And now im not getting an error but it wont do what its suppose to do.
argh!

one other thought you put:
on (press) {
gotoAndStop (2);
tellTarget ("/menu1/menu2/menu3") {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
}
instead you should put
on (press) {
tellTarget ("/menu1/menu2/menu3") {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
gotoAndStop (2);
}
notice the order change. Does that help? I'm a bit stumped otherwise. Email me.

Hi...it looks like from the error that you're receiving...'menu1' does not have an instance name...looks like Flash is calling it instance15...
Just a thought...
