hi

im using this code for my buttons below, but i want to have the below code on the main timeline and make the buttons control the timeline within another MC (called 'content'). do i just change the gotoAndPlay("2"); to gotoAndPlay(_content"2");???? i dont think this 100% right?

please help. thanks.

stop();
buttonMC.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay("2");
}

if you target frame 2, don't use quotes:
target a frame:

gotoAndPlay(2) 

target a label:

gotoAndPlay("myLabel") 

if you want to control another instance, use the path+instance name before the dot. For example:

this._parent.content.gotoAndPlay(2);
