Hey all,  
i did the tutorial on smartclip navigation, and i made a cool looking smart-clip,  
( this has probably been asked hundreds of times but i cant find it), how can i use the smartclips to get to another frame, the simple :  
on (press){  
gotoAndStop(5);  
}  
makes the smartclip not so smart…!!!  
help!

Hey amitgeorge,  
unfortunatly that didnt work, but i just figured out a way to do it,  
instead of  
\*\*on (press) { \*\*which is a button action,

\*\*onClipEvent (mouseDown) {  
\_parent.gotoAndStop(5);  
} \*\*which is a movie-clip action, still the “\_parent.” was still needed to make it work,  
thanks alot,
