I’m not very sure how to go about programming the Actionscript for the button.  
But i want the button to be able to play the main frame instead of playing inside the movieclip. How do i make it loop out of the movieclip and play my main frame?

```auto

on (release) {
 gotoAndPlay("scene 1","70");
}

```

the coding above for my case doesnt work. help pls?
