what am I doing wrong?

Got a weird problem..

I have a button inside a movie clip in the first scene, the scene name is called "test"... when you press that button, I want the root movie to go to scene 2 which is named "mainmovie"... I thought the actionscript would be:

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("mainmovie", 1);
}

But it's not working.. any idea what I'm doing wrong..

I did find a work around to it... you need to tell the button to go to the _root scene that it's in.. tell it to go to frame 5 for instance.. and in frame 5 there's an actionscript there to go to scene "mainmovie" of the root.. shehshhh.. is there any direct way to a second scene of the main timeline from a button inside a movie clip? Let me know what's up! Thanks.

I think your script will need to tell the _root to switch scenes.. to do this try the following script:

on (release) {
tellTarget ("_root") {
gotoAndStop ("mainmovie", 1);
}
}
