    Default manipulating Flash in multiple channels

    I feel a complete fool. This seems so simple.

    In channel 1, I have a .swf entitled "puzzle"
    In channel 2, I have a .swf entitled "menu-bar"

    When I call --- sprite("menu-bar").goToFrame(4) --- it ignores the name and goes to frame 4 of "puzzle in channel 1.

    In fact, all of the Lingo commands only affect a .swf in channel 1.

    There must be a way to direct to to different .swf in different channels.

    Default THE ANSWER


    In channel 1, I have a .swf entitled "puzzle"
    In channel 2, I have a .swf entitled "menu-bar"

    sprite(1).goToFrame(4) accesses "puzzle"
    sprite(2).goToFrame(4) accesses "menu-bar"

    That's that.

    D'oh!

    That's because sprite channels do not have names, only numbers.
