how to enable a button nested in a movieclip once the playhead enter and stop on a specific frame on the root timeline?

Question

The button nested in a movieclip has been set to false like this, and code is placed inside the movieclip.

The code on the main timeline:

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enableBtn);

function enableBtn(event:Event):void{

if(currentFrame==21){

nav_mov.theBtn.mouseEnabled = true;

}

The code to set the button to false which is placed in the movieClip

theBtn.mouseEnabled = false;

The movieClip is placed on the main time line.

Thank you very much for your help.

the line of the error: nav_mov.theBtn.mouseEnabled = true;

Thank you!

that doesn't make sense.

create a new fla. copy and paste your code to frame 1. add a keyframe at frame 21. add a movieclip (nav_mov) on frame 21. in frame 1 of nav_mov at a simple button (theBtn).

test. any problems?

if not, in what relevant way is your original fla different from the one i suggested you create for testing purposes?

Thank you so much for the help!!! I finally found the problem. That's my mistake. I didn't give the instance name for the movie clip: nav_mov. Now the code works fine. Thank you! Have a wonderful weekend!
