Hi,  
I have button inside a MC (attached by linkage):  
this is the path I get with trace(this) for the button:  
[AS]  
\_level0.MC1.MC2.MC3  
[/AS]  
What I want is when button being released the movie goes to scene X at frame 1.  
I have tried with  
[AS]  
\_level0.gotoAndPlay(“X”,1)  
[/AS]  
it doesn’t work. When I have a test button on the \_root, the scene shift works for this button on the \_root. The problem is the path I think for that button which is inside the MCs.  
Any help please?
