tell target on a level

[Alwinch]

On the first frame I am loading a movie onto level three.

On the first frame of the movie I am loading there is a stop action on a
blank frame (so it doesn't show until I want it to). On the main movie
timeline frame. where I want the new movie on level3 to show. I have...

begin tell target "_level3"
go frame 2
play

Doesnt work, new movie doesn't show. If I just load it without the blank
frame it works fine and loads it right away (where I don't want it too of
course).Any thoughts? Thanks

the new movie is a sound clip with off/on buttons that will play across the
entire movie.

Alwinch,

If everything you said was correct!
It should work. So we will have to look at it
as if something you said was wrong and the only
guess would be. Are you sure that it is on _level3.
Because it sounds like a targeting problem.

If that isn't it, then someone will have to look at the
fla to find out.

Good luck.

Hi thanks for responding here is a confirmation of the code.

main timeline on frame 3

Load Movie ("music.swf", 3)


main timeline frame 480

Begin Tell Target ("_level3")
Go to and Play (2)
End Tell Target

music.swf has two frames
frame 1 is blank with a stop action
frame 2 has a movie clip with the sounds on off button and there is a stop action on this frame as well

cant figure it out. especially when it works if I take out the blank frame.

Alwinch,

Should work, I do sound like that all the time.
And with it being nothing complicated, it doesn't make
sense. Maybe you could strip down the fla with just
the failing part and try it that way and if it still fails
have someone look at the fla file.

Hi:

Try putting a label on Frame 2 and then tell Flash to goto level 3 and play the label.
