Unless you're using a really old version of Flash, you don't need to
use "TellTarget".
not sure what you mean by "call a label"...
key points to remember:
Name your MC also in the properties window (not just when you make
the MC).
Any movieClip_mc can be reused over and over with different names. so
movieClip_mc can be used as movieClip01_mc, movieClp02_mc, etc. by
placing the MC on the stage, clicking on it, and naming it in the
Porperties window. If you don't, Flash won't find it.
If you're not going to need to use the same MC several times in
different ways, it's best to just type the exact same name so it's
easier to recognize. (You don't know how many Flash projects I'm
asked to work on that are a huge mess to understand, simply because
the original developer failed to do this.)
anything within that MC call be targeted using dot notation:
movieClip_mc.foo // call to a child
or
_root.movieClip_mc.foo // call from root movie
or
_parent.movieClip_mc.foo // up one level
or
_parent._parent.movieClip_mc.foo // up two levels
I think you're trying to get to a variable in your AS that is within
your MC. A variable name declared within a MC is available anywhere
within that MC, not just in that single frame (in most cases). So for
that you'd simply:
movieClip_mc.variableName

Forgive me for asking such a basic question, but there's a long space
between my flash projects and during that interval I always forget
everything I ever learned.
Now, all in a rush, I have to do something pretty simple (forgive my
total lack of jargon):
I need to call a specific label within an on-stage MC from an
actionscript in one of the frames.
I know this should be simple but I can't seem to find a refresher
tutorial on how to do that. (I found one ages ago, but ...) I think
I'm missing the right lingo. I can't even figure out what basic script
command is called for here. TellTarget? Something else? Any
suggestions?
thanks,
