Bassicaly i want to control a movie clips time line with a buttons on (release) function. The application is bassicaly a quiz that shows if they got the answer right or wrong. so the movie clip in question contains three frames with three different colored boxes: yellow for unanswered, green for right, and red for wrong. on release of the wrong buttons makes the box go to frame 3, right buttons frame 2.

i know its got to be something bassic like:

on (release) {  
movieClipInQuestion.\_currentFrame = (2)  
}

But you and i both know that doesn work…:puzzled:
