quick question about accessing a movieclip!

[panopticon_]

so im inside my movieclip called "blah" (instance name the same), and i'm writing some code in the timeline of "blah".

with this code i want to tween a movieclip (called "info", instance name also "info") which is directly on the stage (not in the movieclip "blah")

i tried


TweenLite.to(_root.info, 3, {alpha:0});


and


TweenLite.to(stage.info, 3, {alpha:0});


but i cant get it to work. how do i do it? its quite urgent, thank you for your help ;)

You could write what I know about TweenLite on the back of a small postage stamp, but have you triedTweenLite.to(parent.info, 3, {alpha:0});?

aah sorry i forgot something

actually its a bit more "nested" (right word?)

my stage with info movieclip on it -> scrollbox_main (MovieClip) -> blah (MovieClip)

or


|------my stage with info movieclip on it
|--------scrollbox_main (MovieClip)
|----------blah (MovieClip)



i'm writing my code inside of blah movieclip

so parent.info doesnt work, out ouf curiousity i tried parent.parent.info but that doesnt work either :(

If 'blah' is a child of scrollbox_main which is a child of info then I must admit I would have expected parent.parent.info to work.

What about parent.stage.info ? :eek:

blah is a child of scrollbox_main (which is a child of the stage obviously) but scrollbox_main is not a child of info. info is a seperate movieclip on the stage

i guess i confused you a bit with my little diagram :D


|------my stage
|--------scrollbox_main (MovieClip)
|----------blah (MovieClip)

|--------info


"info" is on the same level as "scrollbox_main" and i want do access it out of "blah"
