Access main timeline from movieclip

[campbellma]

I want the to have a command on the end frame of a move clip to gotoAndPlay the second frame on the main time line. How can I do that?

I tried it as gotAndPlay (2), I added Scene 1, and that didn't work. I even put a frame label on it and it doesn't recognize the frame label.

Delete the additional scene, as it only complicates the matter.

At the end of your nested MovieClip write:

MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay(2)

or

MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("framelabel")

//substitute framelabel with the actual label you put on the frame

Thanks I knew it has something to do with root but I kept tryin root.gotoAndPlay("framelabel").
