[CS3] [AS2] Controling Movie Clip from another Problem

[madbomb122]

i am having problems using the gotoAndStop from another Movie Clip

1 and A are both on the main timeline.. 3 is within 2 wich is within 1 , C is within B wich is within A (Diagram bellow). I am trying to have a button in 3 change the frame number for the Movie Clip in C. (The letter and Numbers are just for the example, I dont accualy have them named like that).

MainTimeline: 1->2->3
MainTimeline: A->B->C

in (_root.a.b.c)

_root.1.2.3.gotoAndStop()

[madbomb122]

i tried to use the in (_root.a.b.c) command but i get "Unexpected 'in' encountered" i tried to even add ; and {.

[kortex]

When I wrote that I was indicating that _root.1.2.3.gotoAndStop() needed to be placed inside of (in) the clip you referred to as _root.a.b.c

[madbomb122]

oh, i tried _root.1.2.3.gotoAndStop(2);
it doesnt change the movie clip at all

[kortex]

Did you give the clips instance names or are you referring to their names in the library?

[madbomb122]

i am putting there instance name...

[kortex]

Yeah. What I am assuming the issue is that you need to get the path to the movie you want to change correct.

[madbomb122]

guess i will just do it the way that would require me to put the AC in multi times instead of once like i hopped i could do

This isn't working for me either. Are there any other conciderations I should be making?
