Button inside MC

[dburwell]

I open a new fla file...

Create a new MC (Button MC)...

Create a new Button (Button) and drag it into my movie (Button MC)...

Associated the following script (which doesn't work) to the button...

on (release) {
gotoAndStop (10);
}

Now I drag the MC (Button MC) into my main timeline...

What is the script to go to frame 10 of the main timeline when I press the button? Is what I have above going to frame 10 of my MC (Button MC) or what?

This one is really confusing me, so thanks in advance for any help.

dburwell,

yes your button script is telling the movie clip that it's embeded in to gotoAndStop (10); not othe mail timeline.
just change your code to look like this...

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop (10);
}


and it should work fine.

Hope this helps,
Let me know if you need anything else.
