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,
