Hi

my button in main timeline, i want to "gotostop" a label which is in a I. movieclip that is in another II. movieclip (i mean nested two movieclips)  under main timeline. How can i write "gotostop" codes?

As long as all movieclips are present when you execute the command, in the timeline that contains the first movieclip you could use something like...

movieclipname1.movieclipname2.gotoAndStop("laeltext");

Quick note on this, because it seems you are timeline driven (aka using gotoAndStop) you should take into consideration that objects are only accessable when the keyframe they are contained in is active.  If you call an object that is on another frame you will most likely error.

Using Ned's example

Eg:

If movieclipname1 contains multiple frames, then you must goto the frame which contains the object you want first, then movieclipname2 and so on for nested elements:

movieclipname1.gotoAndStop('test');

movieclipname1.movieclipname2.gotoAndStop("labeltext");

- just a note...

You're pretty much repeating what's already been said.
