Hello  
I can’t seem to figure out how to get buttons inside of one movieclip on my main timeline to gotoAndPlay frames in another movieclip on that same timeline.

basically I have a intro\_mc that I have an enter button in.  
and I would like that to gotoAndPlay a framelabel in a 2nd movieclip (content\_mc)

the reasons that I have them each in their own mc and not just on the main timeline  
is because I am proportionally scaling each of the mc’s to fill the browser window

I have tried to call it with parent child but I am most surely missing something

any help would be greatly appreciated.
