target a movieclip from inside another movieclip

i want gotoandplay symbol timeline from main time line

Clicking 1 , i want to goto inside 5 . not 5  timeline . it is main timeline . but i want to go symbol timeline of 5

So the code i am using is :

stop();

movieClip_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene);

function fl_ClickToGoToScene(event:MouseEvent):void

{

  MovieClip(circle).gotoAndPlay(1);

}

here i wan to go

if inside5 is the object on the same timeline as movieClip_1 and you want to target circle is a child of inside5, use:

inside5.circle.gotoAndPlay(1);

Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 7

1120: Access of undefined property inside5.

yes. here is the way i made inside5 symbol timeline from circle . inside5 symbol is inside the circle . i want to go inside5 symbol timeline clicking 1 rect

stop();

movieClip_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene);

function fl_ClickToGoToScene(event:MouseEvent):void

{

inside5.circle.gotoAndPlay(1);

}

it shows error : acess of undefined property inside5

inside5 and circle must be instance names (in the properites panel).

in addition, they must both exist when the code executes.

certainly this code is working fine but reverse shows error

btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Down);

function btn1Down(event:MouseEvent):void {

MovieClip(parent).salma.text = "You pressed button 1";

}

// means textfield salma is instace name situated in parent timeline. here your btn1 situated in child timeline .

//My question is what is the reverse of it ?

btn1 will be situated in parent timeline and textfield salma is situated child

apply this code you will get error . but anyway to fix the issue ?
