::::: control MC scenes over levels :::::

[k99]

Hallo all...
After (almost) all my previous questions were not answered i still won't lose hope... i know there are LOTS of guys out there that can help.. it's just a question of luck if they see your question before it goes to the buttom of the page in the forum.... :-))

This time it's easy (and urgent as well..)
I have a Main MC.
Loaded on launch a second one on level 4.
The mc on level 4 is the menu for the root level.
How do i send a command (simple one like goto.scene ) from the level 4 MC to the main one ?
I tried
_root.gotoAndPlay("Scene 2","MyFrame")
and also the regular one
goto _root.scene2.myframe

But it does not work
Apperantly the player goes to the root of the fourth level MC and not the absolut root of the clip.
Am i doing a syntex error ?
is it possiable to control MC in diffrent levels OVER SCENES ????
I want to control the scenes in level root from the one in level 4. (and frames ofcourse..)

Any bright ideas ????

its possible to control mc in difft levels
in ur case it would be
_level0.gotoAndPlay(("Scene 2","MyFrame");


B-)

Thanks for the quick answer,
but the same thing occurs.
It's looking for _level0 inside the clip that is in level 4 and not the root's level0
It's seems that changing _root with _level0 does nothing..is that possiable ?

Any other ideas ?

I am not sure why its not working but u can try telltarget ie

tellTarget(_level0) {
gotoAndPlay(SCENE1,2);
}
or _root._level0.gotoAndPlay(1);

this should work man

Thanks man, that worked,

Ive used

on (release) {
tellTarget (_level0) {
gotoAndPlay ("general", "start");
}
}

And it worked .. but it's still not clear why the other methods did not function...
If someone can explain me, i could save some nerves next time ...

:-)))

Thanks again...
