</div>

\_root.targetMC.gotoAndStop (“frame label”);

or

\_root.targetMC.gotoAndPlay (“frame label”);

if the mc you wanna play is inside another mc and that mc is on the screen then you have to mention the whole path…

\_root.firstmc.secondmc.gotoAndPlay(“frame label”);

MAKE SURE YOUR MC’s ARE ALL NAMED OR IT WONT WORK!!!
