Button and actionscript

[nickharperuk69]

Hi,
I have my menu inside a movie of it's own, and when i try to make the movie jump to a certain frame when the button is clicked, say 80 for example. The movie will jump to frame 80, but frame 80 of the menu movie and not the main movie?
Can any1 help?

Thanks
Nick

You need to target the main movie clip. Use
on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay(80);
}

Also-try labeling your frames instead of using frame numbers. It will save you some headaches if you have to edit later, or if you start using scenes. IF you do label your frames the code should look like this instead:
_root.gotoAndPlay("framelabel");
