targetting the timeline of a movieclip

[hrpremier]

ok,, prob so easy.

i have a mc with 2 frames. the instance of the movieclip is "m"

when i click a button i want the mc"m" to go to frame 2 and stop.

i have

on (press) {
gotoAndStop("_root.m", 1);
}


is this possible ( of course) and what stoopid thing am i doing wrong?

cheers in advance.

on (press) {
_root.m.gotoAndStop(1);
}




that should do the trick

hrpremier,

outer is instance name of mc1 and inner is instance name of mc2.

Note the frame label is referenced by string (qoutation marks) and the gotoAndPlay is just written like a normal function.

If you wanted a frame label (althought not advisable), you could just use a number and scrap the string.


on(release){
_root.outer.inner.gotoAndPlay("start");
}
