You assign an event listener to the movieclip annd an event handler function for that listener that either tells the other movieclip to do something or sets a variable in the clicked movie that is checked to see if the movie should tell the other movie to start playing when it finishes doing it's thing.

Thanks!
And While I'm here may I ask something else.
when I rollover I want it to do a timeline motion I've already made. Its sort of like a jiggle.

When I click it I want it to move with Actionscript. How might I do this?

you can use play() and gotoAndPlay() methods of movieclips to direct timelines to play.

to move a displayobject change its x,y properties.  if you want to display smooth (not sudden) movement, use tweening code or one of the tween classes.
