OK…
I have a button inside of a movie clip
when pressed, the button needs to move the main timeline to a new scene. What is the appropriate code for this?
if I just use “gotoandStop (”—"), it will control the movie clip the button is in, not the main timeline. And if I use \_root.gotoandStop("—"), nothing happens.
ahhhh please help

gotoandStop (“Scene 5” , “test”);
it refers to the scene and frame label I want the main timeline to go to
