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,
