Hi, im having problems executing correct action script. Im using movie clips and when using buttons under them everything works fine. Im putting the script in the maintimeline: code below:

e.g  
\_root.mainMenu.floor1\_btn.onRelease = function () {  
loadMovie (“comingsoon.swf” , “membersOnly”);  
};

Now what i want to do is when the timeline gets to say frame 200, ive an action waiting to play a movie clip (instance “liftMc”) but i can’t seem to get it to play?

i’ve tried writing a function as well as modifying the script above but i can never get it to play? hope someone can help please, i know this is basic stuff but i’ve been on it for hours. Beginners Eh!

cheers dave
