Tell Target Explained - Page 2

So, let's take a look at using tell target to affect different timelines:

Affecting the Main Movie Timeline:

• Begin Tell Target (_level0)

Affecting a Movie Clip (MC):

• Begin Tell Target ("/MCINSTANCEName")

Affecting a MC inside another MC:

• Begin Tell Target ("/MCINSTANCEName/MCINSTANCEName")

Affecting a MC inside a MC inside another MC:

• Begin Tell Target ("/MCINSTANCEName/MCINSTANCEName/MCINSTANCEName")

You get the idea...The thing that makes this work is giving each occurance of a Movie Clip its own unique "Instance Name" (You set the "Instance Name" on the properties dialog of the MC).
