Again I face another problem;

I’ve got a movieclip “games\_mc” and inside that mc I’ve got another mc “supermaze\_mc”.  
The “supermaze\_mc” is a game, and it’s not working properly. Or the buttons aren’t.  
On the first frame in the “supermaze\_mc” I have a menu with several buttons such as play,instructions etc. When I click on the play-button I want to get to frame nr. 30 in the same mc (supermaze\_mc). But that doesn’t work when I test the movie. (The other buttons on the menu doesn’t work either)

I now have this code on my play button.

```auto
on (release) {
    gotoAndStop(30);
    
}

```

I have also tried to give my “supermaze\_mc” an instance name and used this code: myinstance.gotoAndStop(30); but it failed aswell.

I was sure I did it all right, but I can see somethings wrong. Do anyone know what is wrong and/or what I need to do?

(geez, that turned out to be a lot more than I thought)

Thanks:)

Try using relative paths. e.g.

```auto
_parent.gotoAndStop(30);

```

try

```auto
on(release){_parent.gotoAndPlay(30);}

```

or

```auto
on(releaase){this.gotoAndPlay(30);}

```
