AS2 problem with buttons

[miku00]

Hi, a very n00b question but now I'm making a interactive animation.

in the roo I have a frame with a movie clip with instance name of "pascal"... inside it has another animation that end with a stop in frame 37...

outside again in the root in frame 17 I have another moviclip with an animation that stops in frame 17 and have a button, if pressed it should take you to "pascal" movieclip in frame 37...

what i have right now in this button is

on(release){
_root.pascal.gotoAndPlay(37);
}

I Also tried with pascal.gotoAndPlay(37); and this._root.pascal.gotoAndPlay(37);

but nothing seems to work.... any help would be much appreciated!..


thanks!
