gotoAndPlay to child MC?

[nick616]

I'm reorganizing my game but having trouble, (prob'ly with an obvious mistake):

Before, this worked:

h.gotoAndPlay("enemy7");

but since then I put all the various enemies in a MC in h called "enemy" and tried this

h.enemy.gotoAndPlay("enemy7");

but it's doesn't work... What am I missing? THANKS!

sorry... i got confused... you made an mc and put it inside h?

if you want h to go to the frame enemy7 then your code should be just as you had it before...

h.gotoAndPlay("enemy7");

could you explaine it a bit more?

that should work just fine check if the frame's label are where they are suppost to be. check if the new mc enemy has an instance name as well

Sorry I wasn't more clear.

Before I had it organized like this inside "h" ( the hole the enemy lives in)

enemy1 hidden, enemy1 attacking, enemy1 shot, enemy2 hidden, enemy2 attacking, enemy2 shot, etc...

but it is obviously a waste / poorly organized, so I put all the enemies in an MC called "enemy" within "h," so now it's like this:

enemy hidden, enemy attacking, enemy shot

much better, but i can't get to the different frames inside "enemy"!

Thanks, AluminX - I confused linkage with instance name!
looks to be working now!
