Quick n Easy?

[Progenitor]

Hey all....I am sure this is very easy to do but have never known this. How do you control the main movie from a button inside a symbol - such as a graphic or a MC?
thanks...

Hiya

You need to use _root :


_root.gotoAndPlay(10);

Cheers...thx a million......kept putting the _ & the . in the wrong palces!!!

Can anybody tell me if this is meant to work?

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("exit", 1);
}

Hiya

Yes, providing you have a scene called "exit". You don't need the "1" though.
