ActionSetTarget

ActionSetTarget instructs Flash Player to change the context of subsequent actions, so they apply to a named object (TargetName) rather than the current file.

For example, the SetTarget action can be used to control the Timeline of a sprite object. The following sequence of actions sends a sprite called "spinner" to the first frame in its Timeline:

1. SetTarget "spinner"
2. GotoFrame zero
3. SetTarget "" (empty string)
4. End of actions. (Action code = 0)

All actions following SetTarget “spinner” apply to the spinner object until SetTarget “”, which sets the action context back to the current file. For a complete discussion of target names see DefineSprite.
