I think at the moment, ive got something like

```auto
on(release){
_root.mc_test.play;
}

```

But it isnt working…

I also tried giving the mc an instance name of ‘box’ and instead of writing ‘mc\_test’ I wrote box…

But it didnt work.

I have actually got a tween that animates the clip…

Thanks for any help.
