\*\*I´ve found the following code to control sequentially movie clips

> 

if (c\>=3) {  
c = 0;  
}  
count ++;  
tellTarget (“mc”+ count) {  
gotoAndPlay (2);  
}

there are 3 mcs (instance names : mc1 , mc2 , mc3) to be controlled on the 1st frame of  
main timeline as well as the above code .

it has not worked , the mcs don´t play.  
why ?  
is there something wrong ?  
(tellTarget has been deprecated , I think it has to be changed)  
thank you
