Attempting to get a movie clip to play from another (AS3)

programming flash
1

Hello all,
I am attempting to get a movie clip from the Library to play from another movie clip. I knew how to do this in AS2, but I’m trying to learn AS3 and I am at a loss to understand how to do this.

In AS2 I would just have to code:

_root.movieClipName.play();

but in AS3 when I enter in this code:

root.majestic_transition_1.play();

the compiler comes back with an error message. (Error 1119) I tried the information in the Help section, but that didn’t help.

Any help you would have would be appreciated.
