goto frame label from MC or different scene

What's the secret to jumping to a frame label from different scenes? Or from a movie clip to the main scene.

And while I'm at it.... can you jump to a particular frame in a page from a different page?

What's the voodo gurus?

thanks.

You need to target the root timeline:

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay ("FrameLabel");
}

cool. I knew it was something simple. Now is it possible to jump to a particular frame/label from a completely different movie or page?

thanks for the response.

Hey Guys,

I actually am having the same problem with that action and when I tried that script, it still didn't work. My mc is trying to call the root from inside the embedded clip.

I wish it worked I think logically it should but it simply doesn't. If there is anything to could tell me (or anyone for that metter) to get this thing to work, I would be very greatful.

cause' Im just stumped....

----------------------------------------

Here is the mc order:

root --> Large --> button(w/script)


Here is the script:

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

-----------------------------------------

I have tried levelnumber and everything I can think of for this thing. It shouldn't be this difficult!!!

Many Thanks,

R
