Controlling other movies and movie clips

Use the Tell Target statement to control a different movie clip or another movie that was loaded with the Load Movie statement.

The Tell Target statement is useful for navigation controls. Assign the Tell Target statement to buttons that stop or start movie clips elsewhere on the Stage. You can also make movie clips go to a particular frame in that clip.

The Tell Target statement has the single parameter Target, which specifies the Timeline that is to be controlled. Any statements nested within the Begin Tell Target and End Tell Target statements are directed at the targeted Timeline.
