problem with test movie

[mashnote]

Hi there !

This is my first post so first i salute you all :)

My problem has to do with a mc telling another mc to play.
I think my paths are ok 'cause when i enable simple buttons and simple frame actions (in the control bar) and i click on my button,which is in a menu mc it goes to the right frame.But when i test it,it doesn't. I just don't get it.

ok,here it goes.

I have a movie clip that contains 5 buttons. When i click on one of the buttons it should go to the frame labeled as "mc_01".

on (release) {
gotoAndStop ("Scene 1", "mc_01");
}

-->this is the code on the button

I tried it with absolute pathing and all,but it doesn't seem to work.
Strange 'cause like i mentioned before,when i enable simple frame action i can see the timeline going to the "mc_01" label after i clicked the button.

Hope this makes sense

cheers

Judging from your code, you want _root to go to the 2nd scene which contains a frame with the label "mc_01". This won't work. If u want your mc that contains the buttons to go to frame labeled "mc_01", this won't work either. For the 1st :

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("mc_01");
}

and the 2nd

on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndStop ("mc_01");
}

ofcourse assuming there's a frame labeld "mc_01".
