Insert target paths

Many script actions are meant to affect movie clips, buttons, and other symbol instances. In your code, you can reference symbol instances on a timeline by inserting a target path—the address of the instance you want to target. You can set either an absolute or relative target path. An absolute path contains the entire address of the instance. A relative path contains only the part of the address that is different from the address of the script itself in the FLA file, and will no longer work if the script is moved to another location.

  1. In the Actions panel, click an action in your script.
  2. Click Target Path .
  3. Enter the path to the target instance, or select the target from the list.
  4. Select either the Absolute or Relative path option.
