I am attempting to apply the tellTarget script (using kirupa's tutorial as a reference) and I get the following output error:
Target not found: Target="/security" Base="_level0"
I named the movieclip "security" (without the ", of course), and applied the appropriate script to my button but I keep getting that error.

I just got cs5 and this is the script I normally use for certain mouse over events. I want my button to tell a certain movie clip to play a certain frame.
//MOUSE OVERS
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("culture") {
[code]....
Why doesnt this work?
It may be a little confusing the way I explain it but here I go. I've been testing in Flash CS5 for awhile and saw it may be something like Photoshop, more specifically while drawing. In Photoshop there are layers which I use to divide parts of the picture such as the hair and the head in two different layers so that if there is a problem say at the top of the forehead where the hair is, the layer dividing the two separates it so when I erase a part of the head the hair doesn't go with it because it's not on the same layer.
Unfortunately in Flash it doesn't appear to work that way...in one layer I draw the head the other I draw the hair, I see a mistake in the head near the hair and I erase it...a part of the hair goes with it...then I have to redraw that part which can be time consuming unless I want a relatively bad animation(which I don't) since it's obviously not set as a default in Flash is there anyway to set it as that? I do tend to make quite an amount of mistakes in Flash because of how the brush and such works..
can you help me make this work[URL]..I need that the buttons, under the tellTarget moviclip, to actually work.
View 2 RepliesI had a developer who created a flash slideshow which utilized xml to load the image and attach a url to it. The project works as it should except for the urls...which seems to be set to the first one you click on.I am not a programmer, and the developer I was using, died. So, now I am stuck with a file that just needs one thing fixed to work. Any assistance in this endeavor would be most appreciated. If you want to use the files for yourself once they are fixed, feel free.
View 2 RepliesI seem to be unable to reference flash files in my HTML code that reside on a server different than that of the HTML page. When both the "swf" file and webpage are on the same server, everything works accordingly to plan using either the absolute or relative link to the swf file.

View 6 Replieshow do you specify the target path using "tellTarget"?Ex. The target movie clip is on the main timeline but the "tellTarget" script is on another. How would I code this? (or should I just use the standard "gotoAndPlay"?)Is tellTarget really even relevant anymore? It seems to me that with the release of FMX 2004, Macromedia advocates using gotoAndPlay more than tellTarget. Why would you use tellTarget when gotoAndPlay does essentially the same thing (or does it?)?

View 2 RepliesI have a little problem, I have a scene containing about 30 movieclips (all with a unique instance name!)
I want to call all movieclips at once, on a specific keypress - ex. when I press the key "a", I want to tell one clip to go to frame 2, and all the rest to go to frame 1
I know how to do this the "hard" way, by writing all 30 actions on each key, but I'm looking for an easier way,
In this file are two movies, "display" and "nav slideshow" "nav slideshow" consists of a scrolling toolbar that displays 6 buttons at a time. Clicking on one of these buttons is then supposed to load a frame with the appropriate content in the "display" movie. For the longest time, I couldn't figure out the proper syntax until I came across the Kirupa tutorial on Tell Target & More Tell Target. So I finally got the buttons in "nav slideshow" to load the right content in "display". That was all well and good, but the gallery is designed to load as an external movie into the main website. When I tried this, the code no longer worked. The syntax for the actionscript I have now is:

I have a simple problem that I've been working on for hours, trying to go through trial and error myself. But here's the problem. I have a function on the main timeline named startClips. Now, I want to call this from from within two movie clips, the other nested inside the other. In other words, I have a movie clip called holder, and inside of a holder, I have a movieclip called homebase. Now, here is all the code I've been trying to use to access the startClips function which is own the main timeline from the movieclip homebase:
MovieClip(root).startClips();
MovieClip(root.root).startClips();
MovieClip(parent.parent).startClips();
this.parent.parent.startClips();
I can't figure this one out. Can I get any assistance.
I am working on a portfolio in flash which dynamically defines the target of the buttons. When a button is click an external swf is loaded, and the button sends the value of a variable to the loaded swf. So far I got it to work as I want it to, BUT the ouput-panel keeps giving the message:
Target not found: Target="this._parent.project" Base="_level0.button_1"
I am using this code:
on (release) {
this._parent.project.loadMovie("project.swf");
tellTarget ("this._parent.project") {
pnumber = a;
}}
The "pnumber" var is used in de project.swf to define a folder. "a" is a var with a numeric value. I know the tellTarget is an old-fashioned way of scripting, but so far it is the only piece of script that actually does what I want it to do (except for the error-message)
I tried:
Code:
on (release) {
this._parent.project.loadMovie("project.swf");
this._parent.project.pnumber = a;
}
But this resulted in an undefined var in my target clip, while the tellTarget did return the value for 'a'/'pnumber'.
The request has been to modify the first item by including an FLV player. This I've done and have working without flaw.My trouble arises when users select any of the other 4 tabs and then attempt to return to the first tab where they should see a transition into the playing FLV. This is not happening after the initial load. It's been quite awhile since I've worked with AS but I figure this issue should be able to be resolved if I inject a condition to determine what item is selected.
The AS for the "accordian" is:
ActionScript Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
[code]....
This isn't working. In fact, it seems to be skipping the initial condition if(t == "welcome"). If the nave is determined within the var navs:Array, how then can one determine the selected location?
Ive just followed the tutorial about creating a full flash site using root. I got that working fine. My problem occurs when i want to use tellTarget in my menu system as well.
The movie looks for the actions contained in the mouse overs of the menu in the main movie. This is the error message i get:

I have my main.fla which imports external swfs that contain flv's. I have three buttons that navigate the main timeline to frames 2-4. At frames 2-4 an external swf gets loaded into an empty movie clip via this code. Each loaded swf acts like a menu with some nice vidoes loading in the background.The problem i found is the flvs continue to play as i navigate between menus, which makes the main swf/fla slow down becuase the pc is working harder to deliver all the stuff running in the background. I've added this code to frame 1 of my empty movie clip that is in my library that has the instance name 'menu1'I keep getting the error "Access of undefines property mc1"I have the source files for my site here if you can take a look and see what I'm doing wrong. I have removed this code so i don't get the error and have tried other things to no avial.

I have an all flash site that i'm making to learn flash MX 2004. I'm loading external swf's into a main page to make it all flow and easy for the browser to chew. i got a page that uses tellTarget to start rollovers and advance a movie. here's the script for one of the buttons...
Code:
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("/swift"){
gotoAndplay (2);[code]....
that works perfectly but when i load it into the main movie... it won't work...how to _root.,_parent, or this. is to make it work.
if there is a way to use the _rotation property with the Tweening class to make a movie clip continually to rotate from it's current position instead of starting back at the original position and doing the same rotation again.
I'm trying to make an movie object rotate 90 degrees by clicking on a button and then when you click the button again, the movie rotates 90 more degrees. I don't want it to start over and do that same 90 degree rotation with the Tween class.
I'm running in to a problem where I've added additional pages (20+ pages in total) and everything after page 16 is transparent.
