Hi,  
Pretty straight forward question I think!

I have a movieclip on the stage instance name: “man\_mc”  
and another movieclip on the stage named: “tree\_mc”

At the end of the timeline in “man\_mc” I want to call the “tree\_mc” to gotoAndPlay(‘fall’).

I’ve tried tree\_mc.gotoAndPlay(‘fall’); and a few others, but I’m having no luck!

Any help would be much appreciated!
