activate button from inside a movie clip?

[Corvenus]

Hi everyone..

I'm trying to get a button which is inside a movie clip to lead to another scene with the following:
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay ("licensed", 1);
}

Where "licensed" is the name of the scene where i'm trying to go.

I have no problem having the button lead to the next scene if the button is sitting directly on a scene, the problem is when i put the button inside a movie clip so it's not "directly" sitting on the scene.

If anyone understands what i mean, is it possible to do? and how?

thanks!

on (release) { 
   _root.gotoAndPlay("frameLabelHere");
}

I'm afraid it doesn't work, on the button itself or on the movie clip neither :/

Anything else i could try? Or perhaps any example i could find?

Thanks for the tip though

Sorry my bad, i put the name of the scene instead of a frame label. Now it works!

Thanks a bunch estudioworks! You just saved me hours of work!

I still don't get it why it won't work with just a goto and the scene name, since the scene name is available from the pulldown menu, you'd think the movie clip would figure out how to find a scene without resorting to a frame label name within the target scene. Anyways, i should stop thinking about it and use the way it works..
