Ok so I have done this before, but I cant get it working again. I have a button **inside** a movie clip. Now I want to make it so when you click the button it plays another movie clip on a certian frame (movie clip name is maintxt). So this is my thinking \_root.maintxt.gotoAndPlay(25);

But this doesnt work, I dont know why, ahmed suggested either that or \_parent.\_parent.maintxt.gotoAndPlay(25);

Anyone else have any ideas at all throw them up!
