Calling a function

[kiya]

Good Morning,

I have a user-defined function in the first frame of the main movie. I am calling the function from a button nested in another movie called mc_map.

If I place a test button on the main stage and call the function, it works. But if I put the identical action in the button in mc_map, nothing happens.

Main Movie > mc_map > button > call function - doesn't work
Main Movie > test button > call function - works

Any suggestions?

Thanks...

Hi there,

I had some same problems to control the mainmovie with a button or script in the movieclip.
But I figured out how to control the mainmovie with a movieclip(-button), just put _root. before the action of button.

Example:

You want to go and play the frame with label "test" in the MAINmovie u type in the actionscript of the button in the movieclip:

_root.gotoAndPlay("test");


Get it??

Greetz,
Cyb :-)
