calling a frame from the maintimeline from inside a movie clip.

[cleofus]

I am have a stop action on the main timeline. from there i have a button that jumps and stops at the next frame where a movie clip plays. inside this movie clip, at the last frame, i want a button which when released will go to the next frame which is labeled Step2 in the main timeline, but i am having a tough time figuring out the right path.

any help would be appreciated. i tried the

on (release) {
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", "Step2");
}


but for some reason it stays within the current MC timeline instead of going to the main timeline

Hello

Try this:

on (release) {
 	_root.gotoAndPlay("Step2");
 }

_root means maintimeline!

Hope this helps

Later
