Easy ActionScript Q - Nested button navigation

I am trying to make this button point to a new scene.

Here is how the button is put together:
NavGigs (button) inside links (graphic) --> navLinks (movie clip) --> News (scene)

So down in the library, I opened up links, clicked on NavGigs, and assigned an action to it.

Here is the action:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Gigs", 1);
}
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("movingTicket") {
play();
}
}
on (press, rollOut) {
tellTarget ("movingTicket") {
gotoAndPlay(14);
}
}


Now, the thing is, everything works except that first on (release). I'm trying to get it to go to scene "Gigs" and play frame 1, but it doesn't move at all.

To double check things, I dragged a new instance of the button onto the stage (not inside navLinks --> links) and assigned the appropriate action, and it worked perfect. So I'm guessing this has to do with the fact that this button has been nested far into the movie. How can I ActionScript my way out of this?

Code:

---

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

---

_root.refers to the main time line .
gigs should be a frame label on the first frame of that scene =gigs.
label the frame and flash wont have to guess what to do ..

Awesome! That did it (though I had to remove that last semi-colon at the end of the last bracket).

Thanks for your help.

yes his is the better way to do it .. not targeting scens blank and the frame as 1 example of a wrong way . ("gigs",1);
correct way ,("gigs"); gigs being the frame label on the first frame on the scene you are targeting ..also dont FORGET the path _root
so _root.gotoAndPlay("frmaelabel");
best way ..
cheers
