Well, here’s another question:  
it’s probably a simple one for all you guru’s here, but time has proven me and codes aren’t too best of friends, so here it is:

I have this movieclip, placed on my main scene. At the end of the movieclip, there needs to be a command which makes my main movie (not to movieclip) goto a certain frame.

I know this 'll probably be something with: \_root gotoandplay or something like that, but I still don’t know what exactly…

So thanks.

[AS]buttonName\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(1);  
}[/AS]

Okay thanks, that worked 🙂

Actually, I would’ve found it myself if I had just put the little dot ( . ) between \_root and gotoAndPlay… :sleep:

But thanks!
