Hey!

i'm pretty sure you can't tell target from one movie to another... i think the buttons have to be on the same timeline as the movies, or on an 'above' timeline from the targeted movie clip.

I had a similar problem, and I think lots of others have as well. Check out my thread, it might help:

Assuming both mc's are on the main timeline: mca targets mcb as follows:

SetProperty ("/mcbinstancename",Visibility) = 50

or:

Tell Target ("/mcbinstancename")
Play
End Tell Target

the '/' targets the main timeline and the instance name after it tells which mc to target.
