Ok, I am getting really confused at this.  
I have  
A button ( one\_btn ),  
inside a movieclip ( two\_MC)  
inside another movieclip ( three\_mc )  
inside another movieclip ( four\_mc )  
inside my timeline.

When I click one\_btn, I want it to gotoAndStop(32); in three\_mc. I tried

```auto
_root.gotoAndStop(32);

```

, but that just does it on the main timeline, and I tried to put

```auto
 
  one_btn.onRelease = function(){ 
     three_mc.gotoAndStop(32); 
 } 
 

```

But that didn’t do anything.  
Anyone know how to help?  
Thank a lot.
