nested movieClip problem

[FlashSmashed]

Hi

I have a movieClip which contains many more movieClips!! every time you drag them(the embedded movieClips)they duplicate and can be placed on the stage. this work fine in my main movieClip timeline but when I put it on the main timeline and play it no duplication happens. any suggestion how to fix this?

Thanks

Look at your code. When you move a movie clip, it's path changes and so do the target paths in the code. Same as moving a file in Windows explorer. You have to target the file with the correct path to find it again.

Hey "Ask The Geezer"

Fantastic it worked perfectly, I guess I have some work to do before I get my head around targeting issues in flash, but anyway thanks for now but I shall be back later!!

There's a great tool in the actions panel to help. You can set the cursor where you want the target path to go, then click on that little blue target icon in the top bar of the actions panel, drill down to the object instance name you want and click OK, and flash will write it for you.
