Im am creating a website in Flash CS5 and Im having trouble with linking a button inside a movie clip inside another movie clip. In theory it should work as ive tried but doesn’t.

I have a movieclip called **content** for the main/top level pages but then i have sub pages which i have created another movie clip **content2**

this is code i have (an example):

[COLOR=Blue]about.onRelease = function(){  
**content**.gotoAndStop(“About”);  
}[/COLOR]

this code works in the top level pages. My porblem is linking from here to a sub level page (movieclip in movieclip).

[COLOR=Blue]info.onRelease = function(){  
[/COLOR][COLOR=Blue] content. **content2**.gotoAndStop(“Info”);  
[/COLOR][COLOR=Blue]}[/COLOR]

Does this not work? i’ve done exactly the same as i would have for top level pages.

How can this be fixed? Can it be done in AS2 if not can it be done in AS3 and what is a SIMPLE method in AS3 to link pages etc

If you need more info let me know

I want to keep the pages/frames organised using movie clips to layer them. I want a good structure.
