Button in Movie clip to link to other movie clip

[tzatadow]

I am trying to have a button isde my movie clip on frame 1 to jumpt to the start of my movie clip on frame 2. They are both in the same scene. I have tried all the basic action scripts including calling the root target and movie name and nothing will work. I am using Flash5 in XP.

Some of the scripts I used:

on (release) {
loadMovie ("", "_root.about");
}


and

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


why doesn't this work?

ps my 2nd movie clip is called "about"

The movieclips must be on the same frame. They can be on different layers but a movieclip on frame 1 can't talk to a movieclip on frame 2.

thanks for your reply, I still can't find the actions that call the movie. I use root.about and it still won't link.

what script do I use? do you have an example. I am fairly new at scripting.
