Are your Buttons targeting a Movie Clip Symbol?

What I mean is, do you have a Movie Clip Symbol on your Stage and want your Buttons, when pressed, to go somewhere inside that Movie Clip?

7

yourButtonName.onRelease=function ();
{
yourMcName.gotoAndPlay.(“labelOrFrameNumber”);}

to stop change gotoAndPlay with gotoAndStop or Stop
