How do you put a button into a MC so that the MC can be clicked on to goto the next frame?

just place an mc on the stage, then give it an instance name (eg button\_mc ) in the properties panel.

once thats done, in a keyframe add this AS

```auto

button_mc.onPress = function():Void {
this._parent.nextFrame();
}

```
