_parnet, _root stuff?

1

I’m having a issue:

I have a mc on the main timeline, inside that mc i
have multiple mc’s, in one of those mc’s–we’ll call
it content2_mc–on the actions layer I have:

label=“s” + _root.link;
gotoAndPlay(label);

and on the buttons i have:

on (release) {
if (_root.link<>1) {
_parent[“item”+_root.link].gotoAndPlay(“s1”);
_root.link = 1;
_root.play();
}
}

Now this doesn’t work how it is, and I think it has
some thing to do with the _root and _parent stuff.
I copied the movie clip and placed it on the
main timeline of a new fla. and it worked.

any idea’s.

thanks,
