Tell Target action is used to communicate with a seperate Sprite.
For example you are in main timeline and a sprite named Anim in
your movie is on the first frame and stopped. You want the Sprite
named Anim to goto frame number 2 and play. How to do this.

Either that action will be for a button or in any other timeline.
fro example that is a button operating the Anim. You will place
its event onPress and action will be Tell Target "Anim" then
Goto Frame 2 and play.

In other case when you need to communicate the main timeline from
within the sprite. If there is a button in the Sprite nmed Anim
and you want to place its action to play the main movie timeline
when it is Released. Place its action OnRelease Tell Target "../".
what is ../ ? "../" is used to come out of the current sprite and
go back in to the parent sprite or main timeline. If you are in a
Sprite named abc within the Sprite named Anim and you want to do
something in the main timeline. How are you going to do that?
You will use Tell Target Action as "../../" first ../ to come out
of current sprite named abc and then ../ to come out of Anim and
go to the main timeline.

Further discussion can be placed in the board.
