Hello,  
I am new to actionscript and can’t seem to figure this one out. Ok, on the main timeline I have a button that when clicked, goes to the frame “movie”. The movie is like a drop-down menu. When the drop-down menu completly folds down, a button appears. I want to be able to click the button on the drop-down menu and be able to go to the first frame of the main timeline.

Can anyone help me out? I would greatly appreciate it. You can download the flash 5 file that I am working on at [www.geocities.com/iraq\_spider/gotobegining.fla](http://www.geocities.com/iraq_spider/gotobegining.fla)  
Thankyou
