[F8] Actionscripts for buttons

[Newbie123]

when button1 is clicked AFTER movieclip1 is played, movieclip2 is played. So I am trying to write this actionscript on the last frame of movieclip1.

How do I do this? I tried:

On(button1.release) {
(_rootmovieclip2.gotoAndPlay (15))
}

But I got a syntax error!!! What do I do??? Please help! Really am stuck.

you need to use

_root.movieClip2.gotoAndPlay (15);

But I only want movieclip2 to play if button1 is clicked after movieclip1 is played. That make sense? basically in this order:
movieclip1 - plays
button1 - clicked
movieclip2 - plays

I think he's saying you have a typo there.

Does the button have to be active the whole time? If not, I think there's a actionscript property that sets whether or not a button is active. Then you could just set it to True or False if your frame has played.

Maybe some else can expand on that idea.
