Controlling clips....question about _child

hey everyone,

i’m trying to teach myself some actionscripting, mainly controlling movie clips, but i can’t seem to get this to work:

main timeline contains MC “first”.
MC “first” contains MC “AAA”. (assume instance names are the same)

now, how do i call frame 2 of MC “AAA”
from the main timeline??

what is the correct script for use with a button action, and would it be the same script for a regular frame action??

what if i wanted to call frame 2 of MC “AAA” from MC “first”??

i know how to get to the _root/_parent levels, from the child levels but how do i get to these _child/_grandchild levels from the parent levels??

i know this is basic actionscripting, but i’m still learning.

thanks! this forum is really great. you all are extremely helpful.
