So I have 2 movie clips on the main stage (mcA and mcB) and a button in mcB is supposed to affect the mcA. Problem is it doesn’t. I tested it by putting the button directly on the main stage and it works fine.

I was thinking it had to do with this: mcA.gotoAndPlay(“blahblah”); so I tried \_level0.\_root.mcA.goto… still didn’t work.

Any suggestions? :beard:
