I have attached the .fla to explain a little clearer
I have a timeline with 4 movieclips in it. each movieclip has its own timeline too. Within each movie clip is a button telling teh _parent timeline to jump up a level and stop on a certain frame. Whilst there also stop the movieclip that resides on that frame. The later doesn’t work???
Not sure why but the A/S doesn’t seem to pick up the path to the second movieclip ‘twoloopms’
Within scene 1 > 1loopms (mc) the right hand next button can find the parent level fine:
this._parent.gotoAndStop(176);
On this main top level it stops and the movieclip which sits in that keysframe plays automatically, even when I say:
this._parent._parent.twoloopms.gotoAndStop(54);
I am sure it should just work!!!
Any suggestions would be more than welcome
