AS2 problem with buttons

[miku00]

Hi, a very n00b question but now I'm making a interactive animation.

in the roo I have a frame with a movie clip with instance name of "pascal"... inside it has another animation that end with a stop in frame 37...

outside again in the root in frame 17 I have another moviclip with an animation that stops in frame 17 and have a button, if pressed it should take you to "pascal" movieclip in frame 37...

what i have right now in this button is

on(release){
_root.pascal.gotoAndPlay(37);
}

I Also tried with pascal.gotoAndPlay(37); and this._root.pascal.gotoAndPlay(37);

but nothing seems to work.... any help would be much appreciated!..


thanks!

It seems that you need to go to frame 37 on the root timeline and then have the "pascal" clip play from there.

so it should be something like this:

on(release){
    _root.gotoAndPlay(37);
    _root.pascal.play(); // If "pascal" has a stop action on first frame, else not needed
}

Thanks Steven FN, sadly that code didn't work.... but I resolved with alphas.... since I could not remove the MC that I didn't wanted then I just covered it in alpha. But thank you anyways for the response
