You’ll have to replace clip by the right path to your clip.

There must be a problem with the path. Can you post your fla?

Several problems with your fla: you didn’t give instance names to your clip, so you can’t target them. And the _nigth_ clip is noton the scene, so you’d need to attach it (and give it a linkage name).
