a movie in a movie goto play frame wont work

[tongcv]

I have a movie that when click to link it goes to a frame number and play a submovie. With in this sub movie there's another link that should take back to the original movie (scene1) and plays a certain frame i.e. on release gotoplay scene1 frame(50) but this didnt work. It just keeps reloading my submovie when clicking on my link. Help and thanks in advance.

You have to use _root preceding your action, and you should definately use a frame label rather than a frame number, which is error prone...

Label the targeted frame with an unique label, no number only labels or at least not starting off with a number, and use someting like this...

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

Double quotes in the above but not when setting the frame label itself.
