Movie Clip Help

[cph2686]

Hi everyone. I have a movie where I have the Navigationla system in a movie clip, but I cannot figure out how to make, say, a button in a movie clip, to go to a frame outside of the movie clip (except for the obvious solution of putting the rest of the site in the movie clip also, but I am too far in progress with the site to do that unless absoultely necisary). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You need to use Tell Target.

eg to target the timeline of your main movie from a movie clip

use

Begin Tell Target ("/")
Go to and Play (5)
End Tell Target

Let me know if you need more,

Rich.

OK so how I understand this

On (Release)
Begin Tell Target ("Scene,Frame#")
Go to and play (Frame)
End Tell Target
End On

Is this correct?? Thanks

Yes you are almost right:

On (Release)
Begin Tell Target ("Movie clip instance "/" coresponds to main time line clip")
Go to and play ("Frame")
End Tell Target
End On

P.S if you need more Info Look In the help Section About Targets

"/"= Main Time Line

"../" Up one level
"../../" two levels up
etc...
_level*=telling target a level


and it goes on
