MC problem Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DV81]

hi

I have a small yet combersome (for me) actionscript problem in Flash5...

I have MC1 on the main timeline then i have MC2 inside MC1 but on frame 3...now inside MC2 i have a stop on frame 40 what is the necessary code or syntax for me to play from frame 40 onwards in MC2 which again is in MC1.... BUT ! I want to play it on a button click which is situated on the main timeline any suggestions ??????????? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE...
my assumption was
_root.mc1.gotoAndStop(3).mc2.gotoAndPlay(41); ???

if you first have to direct MC1 to frame three, use the code:

MC1.gotoAndStop(3);

from the main timeline, and then use the code:

MC1.MC2.gotoAndPlay(41);

also from the main timeline. You can't do both actions in the same command, so just do one then the other.

cheers!
