flash 4 vs 5 script problem

[dbonneville]

Hola:

I've been using what I thought to be flash 4 compliant code on a project. I went to test it on a flash 4 plugin in IE PC, and the first place a script comes up, it doesn't work. I'm not sure what the problem is. Can a more experienced set of eyes take a look at this? It should be schoolboy 101
stuff, I'd imagine...

stop ();
tellTarget ("/stylesMovieHolder") {
gotoAndPlay ("rap");
}

I used slash notation after remembering that the new dot notation doesn't work in 4. But it still doesn't work. Have I done something wrong with the tellTarget? I can send the source file if someone wants to see it.

I tried putting the stop before and after it to no avail. I added ".." before the "/" and that had no effect. What could be wrong? I have the clip in question in the target editor, and it is off the root as shown.


Thanks!

You can send source file to tonypa@hot.ee if you want me to look at it.

It turns out I simply needed _level0/ before the name of the MC. It works now. Thanks!
