replay movie from within clip

[criszero]

I have a button within a movie clip in the main time line of the second scene of my FlashMX .fla.

When you click it I want it to replay the whole movie ie. go back to frame one of Scene 1 and play. If I move the button out of the movie clip and onto the main timeline it works but if it's inside a movie clip it doesn't. What gives??!

probably need to add a _root
i.e.
_root.whateverMC.gotoandPlay()

Yes _root would have to be added, but you can't target a scene name, if that's what you were doing.
You must target a frame number, or much better, a labeled frame on the main timeline...

code:

---

on(release){

_root.gotoAndPlay("frame_label");

}
