I have a movie clip inside my button (a light fading in). I want to be able to control the mc with the button, according to the buttons states.

i.e “When button is in OVER state, I want to gotandplay frame X of movieclip”

Can ne1 tell me what code to use, as I used to use tell target for this function…
