Hello -

I am working on a Flash file, and I have a button that I want to play a movie clip that I have on it’s own frame - which has an instance name of catalog\_mc. There is also a frame on my labels layer called Catalog\_mc.

When I ask the button to:  
on (press) {  
gotoAndPlay(“catalog\_mc”);  
}
