This is such a basic question I am embarrased to ask it, but for I am having a brain blockage. I am trying to target the frame \_root.nav\_mc/projects\_mc/visible (visible is a frame is projects mc).

what is the correct path?

on (release) {   
\_root.nav.gotoAndPlay(“projects”);  
?

}

thanks for the help
