Hi,

I need to set up a pathway,

I would like to use the gotostop command to go to frame 3 of a movie clip which is in the over state of a button.

Can someone please show me the code to target a movie clip in a button with an action.

thanx…

Could you post your FLA?

You’ll need to add  
[AS]gotoAndPlay(//frameNumber);[/AS]  
to the button.

I don’t even know if it will work targeting a movie clip symbol placed inside a frame in a button symbol, if it does work it seems quite inefficient to me.

Perhaps you are better off just using a movie clip symbol as a button instead.

What are you trying to do?
