Hi:  
I have a main movie that contains a movie clip. That movie clip plays a roll over and roll out animation that works as an animated button. The problem is that I cant get the movie clip to tell the main movie to go a particular frame when I add a on release command(inside the main movie that is). I can make it load a movie but it screws the animation flow of the site. Is there a work around?
