Would it be possible to take a mc that is inside a mc like say _root.mc1.mc2 would i be able to make say a button so that in the swf when i hit that button mc2 is brought to _root and if i hit another button with _root.mc2 it would respond. Sry if im making it sound confusing, but if anyone can understand it plz help me
What i understand from what you say, sounds like this:
You have MC1 and inside MC1 you have MC2, and you want to apply to MC2 a button script…yes?
But future i didn’t understand what you want?Can you be more specificaly?
There is no way to move a movieclip from one timeline to another. The only way is to use attachMovie() to attach a new instance of the movieclip on the target timeline.

yeah I would use the attach movie, because flash has no actual function to change an objects parent… So I would use localToGlobal or getBounds, to pass the objects co-ordinates then attach the movie to those points 
I know that duplicating a mc is another way i could do it, but the problems i keep running into with that is when my duplicated mc appears, it doesnt play, and it also doesnt appear exactly where i want it to. The mc im trying to duplicate i want to appear exactly where another mc already is. If any of u have played Mortal Kombat, to better explain it, im trying to make blood appear with a duplicated mc. Anyone know a good script i could use for this?
