    I have a movie clip that contains navigational buttons. There are three links, email (works fine), contact (doesn't work fine), and another link that I have not assigned any actions to as of yet. Is there any way to tell my contact button within the movie clip to go to and play a frame label in the main(root) time line? I have tried but no success. It just won't go to the label I am asking. If I tell it to go to a frame in the movie clip and place a _root.play(); action in that frame, it will go and play the main time line. Now how do I get it to play the frame label in the root time line that I need?

    I have also tried a tell target. I am working in version 5. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    TC

    You've almost got it, but not quite. Forget using TellTarget (it is being deprecated, still supported now, but supposably not in the next release, so don't get dependant on it).
    Now for your button, you just need to use this instead:
    _root.gotoAndPlay ("YourFrameLabel");

    see you were almost there!

    Happy Flashing!
