hy. i’m new in flash and i’m haveing some problems with as3. i want to make a transition between pages, so i created the movieClip that i want to play when i hit any button. on main actions i’we wrote this:

stop();  
var nextPag:String;  
function onseriaexclick(evt:MouseEvent):void {  
nextPag = “seriaEX”;  
transitionEff.play();  
}  
seriaex\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onseriaexclick);  
function onseriaesdclick(evt:MouseEvent):void {  
nextPag = “seriaESD”;  
transitionEff.play();  
}  
seriaesd\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onseriaesdclick);

and on movie clip actions i’we wrote this, but id doesn’t work propertly:

MovieClip(parent).\_root.gotoAndPlay(“nextPag”);
