Hello everyone,

Scene1-\>MovieClip1-\>Image1(as a button)  
Scene1-\>MovieClip2-\>MovieClip3-\>MovieClip4-\>frame1

Now I want to call frame1 from Img1 have a parent Scene1 common.

How can I do this.

}

But this is not working. I am using flash 8.  
Please help me out with this as this is very urgent.
