Thanks to God I use TellTarget when I work with Scenes >:)

I believe TellTarge has been deprecated buddy.

i totally second that notion sir

indeed it has, but a few around here are old-school holdouts
to each their own. tellTarget == with, so it doesnt matter...

flash has what we call a hiercahy (if i spelled that right)

In order to refer to a specific MC when doing code, you have to type out it's path.

_root.mc1.mc2.etc

It's like a system of folders on a computer. C:/ is the _root (I dont know PC's very well, so excuse me if i mess something up with the C:/gbl/adgh/etc) and then you can refer to specific files or folders by doing /this/that

only in flash it's . instead of /, just like many other scripting/programming languages

I'm using this code:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.youturl.com", _blank);
}
to link to website
and using this code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("1");
}
To link to the other frame

These codes works on Flash MX/8

Nope, you didn't.

I'm pretty sure it's dot syntax on most languages.

scripting/programming

Isn't it the same (in this case)?

=P

Before you complained about not being able to name 2 frames with the same name. Lets say you had two frames named qwerty. If you told flash to make it go to qwerty when something happened, how would it know which one to go to?
And with those damn scenes, when I first started, I had the biggest problem with that, and send hours tring to fix it. Then I had to make everything go to one scene, and had to re-do all the programming. Ive hated flash ever since for that.

ya thats exactly what i said

Dammit.

All your problems can be fixed by updating, and your selecting a frame problems can be fixed by using , to go back a frame and . to go foward a frame.
