I am having trouble trying to get a button to target a frame label. Right now I have the button inside a movie clip and my idea was to have the click event target a frame label that is outside of the button movie clip. The frame label actually lives within the parent movie clip of the movie clip holding the button. I am using Action Script 3.0 so I am not sure what to do. And not sure if I should have the actionscript inside the nested movie clip or in the parent. Here is what I have so far…

/\*  
The parent movie clip is called “services\_mc”  
The nested movie clip holding the button is called “brandID\_mc”  
The button is called “goback\_btn”  
The frame label “Home” is my target  
\*/

goback\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, servicesHome);  
function servicesHome(event:MouseEvent):void  
{  
gotoAndStop(“Home”);  
}
