Hello…

I know there is a very simple solution for this, but I’m not competant enough with ActionScript to be able to resolve this issue.

This is what I want to accomplish:  
Have a mouse press event (i.e. a click) on a encompassing movie clip’s constituent movie clips effect which frame of another movie clip is displayed (presubably through the gotoAndStop method).

The best way to visualize this is by considering a picture gallery. Imagine a “thumbnail viewer” at the top of a document. When one thumbnail is clicked it changes which frame of the picture window changes (assuming each frame has another picture corresponding to the thumbails).

I hope that explains it well.  
I’d appreciate all help.

Thank you!
