[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]I have made a button inside a movieclip but I can’t get the button to take me to a frame outside the movieclip. When I use: [/FONT][/SIZE]

```auto
 
on (press) {
                      gotoAndStop(“Scene 1”, 2);
}

```

[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]It still takes me to frame 2 inside the movieclip when I’m trying to go back to the start scene.[/FONT][/SIZE]

[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]what type of script am I supposed to use in this case?[/FONT][/SIZE]
