Hi all,
I can’t seem to target the mc’s that I have pre-loaded externally. The problem is that mcs like ‘screen_roadmap’ play at the beginning of the compiled movie, and not when I make them visible by pressing on the button. I currently have a stop(); command on frame one, so I would like the movieclip to gotoAndPlay(2); only when I press the button. I have tried things like : this[“screen_roadmap”].gotoAndPlay(2);. I used this code from an actionscript book, but it makes no mention of targeting the mcs.
Thanks for any help!
Nick
