i want to go From main timeline to symbol timeline

movieClip_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene);

function fl_ClickToGoToScene(event:MouseEvent):void

{

  MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1, "blue");

}

You don't want to use the name of the current scene when you use gotoAndPlay() or gotoAndStop(). Try:

MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1);

Using scenes is a very bad practice. It is a remnant from the very early versions of Flash.

I replied too quickly. You are editing a symbol, not a scene. In your example "blue" is a movieClip. If that is a movieClip with frames and you have it stopped on a frame and you want it to play through its timeline, then you should be using:

blue.play();

It's difficult to tell, the timeline shows the Library name for the movieClip, but not the instance name. You need to use the instance name, without quotation marks, followed by the command play(); to play the movieClip.

In any case, don't use scenes.

I tried to target a movieclip from inside another movieclip called ball and these dont work!

stop();

movieClip_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene);

function fl_ClickToGoToScene(event:MouseEvent):void

{

MovieClip(root).ballmc.play();

}

i want gotoandplay symbol timeline from main time line

[robdillon]

If movieClip_1 and ballmc are both on the same timeline then something like this should work:

movieClip_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene);

function fl_ClickToGoToScene(event:MouseEvent):void

{

this.ballmc.play();

}

MovieClip(root) is not a valid reference in javascript. You can use this.parent to move up a level or exportRoot to get to the base level.
