hey guys,  
as i am totally new here and to Flash CS3 and as AS3 is chinese for me i cant work out how to direct a button in a separate MovieClip to the main timeline.  
As the MovieClip has an own timeline i am aware that i have to direct my button to “the parent”, just how do i fix this in code?  
please help me out here,  
this is as far as i got when it comes to buttons and code (blush):

function onRoomsSuitesClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {  
gotoAndPlay(“rooms\_suites”);  
roomsSuites\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onRoomsSuitesClick);

cheers,  
jay
