The action bellow is employed to control a movie clip ;

…  
tellTarget ("\_root.drescovinha.menubuttonsmc") {  
gotoAndPlay (6);  
}  
…

It has not worked and the error message is :  
Target not found: Target="\_root.drescovinha.menubuttonsmc" Base="\_level0.menu.drescovinha" ;

Both movie clips are inside “menu\_port.swf” loaded on level 1 onto intro\_mc\_port.swf which is loaded onto “base\_movie.swf”  
on level zero ;

What is the correct action to control menubuttonsmc ???

Thank you very much
