    Accessing a MC inside of a scrollPane

    Is it possible to command a MC that is loaded into a scrollPane? For exemple: I have a button on stage and once I release it - I want the MC inside of the scrollPane to jump to a specific frame in that MC. Is it possible? And if it is - how???

    Thank you!

    so i.E.:
    btn_mc.onRelease=function(){
    scrollPaneInstance.content.gotoAndPlay(34);
    }

    But where do I put it? On the button AS so it will appear within the on(release) or elsewhere?
    Is btn_mc=the instance name of my button?
    Is "content" should appear as is or as a name of the MC that is inside the scrollpane (i.e. _root.mypane.content or _root.mypane.pane_mc)?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    content is a fix expression.. a property of the scrollpane.. all described in the help.

    you might put of course:

    on(release){
    _root.mypane.content.gotoAndPlay(x);
    }
    directly onto your button...
    mypane.content is the _root of your loaded mc.

    Did i make myself clearer now? (bloody krautish.. sry)

    OK, you're talking about F8... I'm using FMX... Though I have F8 at my work, but on this project I'm working at home, with FMX. So... can it be done with MX?

    BTW, maybe I'll ask a more simple question: after all what I need is on press of a button to make some sort of animation, sort of a transition, and at the end of this transition effect to load a movie (external file) into the scrollpane. There're a few buttons as there are a few movies, but the transition effect remains the same. So how can I load different movies after the same transition animation, no matter what button I press?

    Once again, thank you!

    Nothing about it in there... I guess that this option began in MX2004 (according to your quote), so there's nothing I can do about it...

    How about my second question? How can I make the animation play on the press of the button and the content be loaded only after that animation ended?

    try the following:
    Code:
    for (var i in scrollPane_mc){
       trace(i+") "+scrollPane_mc[i]);
    }
    and so on.. maybe you find the content..
    (after the content has been loaded of course)

    I found the labels in a calendar this way..
