Buttons effecting parent level states

[pixelden]

Hi there

As I am finally dipping my toe's into AS3 from years of AS2, I am having an issue for my menu buttons (which are within a movie clip) effecting the activation of movie clips that are featured on the main timeline.

I can get this to run how i want it when each menu button is on the main timeline (by using the 'the click to go to Frame and Play' code snippet)...but when these button are within a movie clip, I can't figure out where in the code i have to add the _parent. command ?

I have attached the .fla to see what I have done. I am keen to keep using the code snippets scripts.

Your help will be appreciated, thanks Matt

You can use MovieClip(parent)

MovieClip(parent).gotoAndPlay("Clip1");
