hello all,

on the main stage I have these movieClips

nav\_mc - navigation movieclip  
main\_mc - main movieclip

in my action layers I have this:

//defines button  
var master\_btn:Button; - this is a nested btn inside of nav\_mc

// nested nav button actions  
nav\_mc.master\_btn.onPress=function(){  
\_parent.main\_mc.gotoAndStop(“master”);  
}

it does not move the playhead inside of the main\_mc… any thoughts…?

thanks  
Aaron
