Jump from MC to Main Stage

programming flash
1

I have a mc, “Transition”, on my main stage. It does an animation. At the end of the animation I would like it to gotoAndPlay(“music”). The problem is that “music” is on on my main stage. Is there any way possible to jump from a frame of a movie clip to a specific frame on the main stage?

Plese say yes and please tell me how.

when you are writing code inside an object you must use the _root keyword to take you back to the lowest level in your time line. so your code would look like

_root.gotoAndPlay("music");

yes, those are called paths. you have more properties like _root, other two very used are _parent and this .
it’s easy to make a path.
If you have MC1 on the root and inside of the MC1 you have the MC2 and you want to do something on the MC2 you just have to indicate it like:
_root.MC1.MC2.

and then use the event you want for example a gotoAndPlay();
_root.MC1.MC2.gotoAndPlay();

if the code is inside of MC2 and you want to do an action on the MC1 you could use either two ways:
_root.MC1. or _parent.
