Getting a Button to Play Part of a Movie Clip

Hello all,

I would like part of a movie clip to play when a button in the main movie is released. I put a stop action on the first frame of the movie clip and on the frame where I want the movie clip to stop. I have following script on the button -

}
on (release) {tellTarget ("/clip") {
play ();
}
}

This script results in the following error -

Target not found: Target="/clip" Base="_level0"

Can anyone help with what I am missing?

Thanks,
CG
