Movie clip inside a Movie clip with a Button Problem

[hawk77]

Ok.. hard to explain but I am sure you guys have abetter Idea than me..

I have a movie clip, inside that is another movie clip, then inside that movie clip there is a button. On pressing of that button I would like to go from the current scene I am in the scene 2, but when I open the Actions and select

On Release

go to and play

it only allows me to stay in the current scene..

is there something I can use to make it jump to scene 2 from scene one?

(there are movie clips inside movie clips because I am using the tsunami effect)

you have to use TellTarget:

on (release)
TellTarget ("/")
<GoTo whereever in the main movie>

The slash / by itself means the root movie. Alternatively, you could use "_level0" as the target instead of "/". Same thing.

Dear Hawk77,

Use this script in your button (wherever it is)
On (Release)
Begin Tell Target ("_level0")
Go to and Play ("scn2")
End Tell Target
End On

Remember to give a label say "scn2" to the first frame of scene 2. so that in the above script Go to and Play would play this label.

Hope u got it.
