Hey everybody,
Im in a bit of confussion at the moment. I am reading 'learning actionscript 3.0' at the moment and find it very good indeed. It has thought me one cool trick about playing an animation through before progressing to the next selected button.
My problem is I have tested this and it works fine once everything is in the same movieclip. Unfortunately my current project has some buttons nesting two movies deep but I want them to control frame labels on the main frame. I thought if I named the buttons and the frame labels the same eg 'menuA_mc.menuB_mc.section1' it might work out as all it is doing is using the 'target' property to identify the button and use this name to find the corresponding label.
This is a mystery to me.
many thanks in advance to anyone who can work this out and anybody taking the time to read my confusing style of writing
