Hi,  
I have two movie clip on the stage(root) say A and B. There is a nested movie clip © inside A movie clip. When I click on C I want movie clip a will gotoAndStop frame 2.  
Could you please help what code should I write on frame 1 inside B movie clip?

I wrote the following code but it not working:  
stop();  
import flash.events.MouseEvent;  
import flash.net.navigateToURL;  
import flash.net.URLRequest;

contact\_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showaddress);  
function showaddress(evt:MouseEvent):void  
{  
//address\_mc.gotoAndStop(“2”);  
MovieClip(address\_mc).gotoAndStop(“stayHere”);  
}  
Thank you advance for your help.
