Accessing Timeline of a Container

programming flash

Hi, I don’t understand how to access Timeline of a container correctly, if its nested in another Container etc for Menu buttons:

[SIZE=1]on main stage:

MovieClip Products_mc , subContainer
----------------|----------------------------------|---------------------------
|
|

       var dMenu:MovieClip = new SPC();
       MovieClip(parent).subContainer.addChild(dMenu);
       dMenu.name="nameSPC";


       var eMenu:MovieClip = new crawler();
       MovieClip(parent).subContainer.addChild(eMenu);
       eMenu.name="nameCrawler";
       eMenu.y=50;
         |
         |
         |
         |
         nameSPC and nameCrawler will got to subContainer

Code in crawler---------------------------------------------------------------------

addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,buttonOver,false,0,true);

function buttonOver(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndStop(2);

     parent.SPC.gotoAndStop(2);  <---- will not work

}[/SIZE]

How can I access the SPC’s TimeLine (its a MovieClip)
I have tried getchildByName,by Index, saying its MovieClip works only for questioning the parameters of the parameters etc, but it will not get to the TimeLine

I’m lost, pls advise :frowning:
I’m reading a book now, but I really can’t find any examples of ‘travelling’ up and down through containers etc and manipulating them

thanks!!
