Hi all,
Im trying to use a frame aciton to tell a mc to gotoandplay at a particular frame and I get the following error message:
Target not found: Target="/progresssline" Base="_level0"
Anybody know where to go with this? (the spelling of the target is correct)
Thanks

use dot syntax
the _root.progresssline seems to clear most of that up.

Are you using Flash 4 or 5?
If it's Flash 5 then the above reply would work, otherwise you may want to make your tell target path like this
../progressline
Hope this helps.

now look!
I tried the dot syntax...nowe the error reads:
Target not found: Target="_root.progresssline" Base="_level0"
heeeeeeelp!

Check your spelling! sure it's "progresssline" instead of "progressline" ? And stick to _root.progressline/progresssline
cheers!

that is the proper spelling - I tried your suggestion though ... drumroll please ... the latest erroro message:
Target not found: Target="_root.progresssline/progresssline" Base="_level0"
what to do !! aaaaah

The slash ("/") was only in there as an option for either "progressline" or "progresssline", that is with 2 or 3 S's.

I could be mistaken, but if you are using the _root for a target path then you don't need the _level0.

Hang on a second! You're trying to tell a movie clip to goToAndPlay from a certain frame within the movie clip?
If that's right, you need to name the instance of the movie clip of course, and then I suggest you name (put a label) on the frame from where you want your movie clip to play from (there needs to be a stop action though attached a frame before, or on the very same frame; e.g. at the start of the movie clip), then when you want the movie clip to play from that frame you can either address it by the frame number or the frame label.
For example, if you want to play from the very first frame in the movie clip instance (I presume you named the instance "progresssline" in the instance panel) and that frame is labeled "play" (in the label text box in the frame panel) and the script is attached to a button, the script would be:
on (release) {
tellTarget ("_root.progresssline) {
goToAndPlay ("play")
}
}
I hope this was what you were looking for...
cheers!
