Help with Targets i think???

[smokeyinc]

Ok.. i will try to explain this the best i can.... i have 3 movies... on one HTML page.. one for main content one for buttons.. and one for news/dynamic text scroll bar...

What i want to do is be able to have the buttons interact with the other movies so when you go over lets say button 1 in the main content page it will say Button 1 and when clicked it will make the main content movie to chnage and goto button 1 of that timeline... understand i hope you do i think it has something to do with targets and stuff but a nice explantion would be nice if anyone could help that would be great... Also i am using flash mx if that makes a differance...

Targets are only for movies loaded into a common host, or objects which are part of the base movie. In this case you need FSCommand, see the FSCommand Library tutorial. Not simple but doable.

Is it needed i was only doing it so that everything would load faster on the page.... so buttons load faster and so forth?? you think i need to or should i just keep it 1 movie and do movie's with in movies...??

FSCommand has issues but it's the only way to do what you're asking. for compatibility and ease of scripting I'd advise that you keep it all in one file if you can.
