Getting a Button to Play Part of a Movie Clip

programming flash
1

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

on (release) {
_root.clip.play ();
}

thanks ipaqflash. I ended up loading an external .swf into my main movie. The problem now is I can’t get my main movie to play the .swf at the same rate that it was saved to. The .swf is played at my main movies frame rate, but my settings were higher when i saved the ‘clip’.

Best,
CG

when a main swf loads an external swf the external swf inherites the main swf fps

that’s too bad. i realized that i could change the framerate of my main movie to 30 and it wouldn’t effect anything per se. cheers.
