Easy question about flash 8 syntax

[artdog]

I am trying to write this in modern syntaxt but I can't get it to work.

Why does this work:
on (release) {tellTarget (this.aboutuspg) gotoAndPlay("start");
}

But this does not:
on (release) {this.aboutuspg
gotoAndPlay("start");
}

What is the correct modern syntax?

[buzcajun]

TellTarget?

this.aboutuspg.gotoAndPlay("start'')

Check the action script dictionary for a better explanation.

Check the output window its anoying but it works

[JacobHaug]

Output window is so annoying, and it is really hard to understand what flash is talking about allot of times. But yep he is right, that is one way, and probably the best way to get started solving this problem.
