Hi. Since, you can’t add actions to buttons in Actionscript 3.0, I need help. When I refer to something with (), I’m giving it’s instance name.

When I click on button (MyButton), I want it to:

- Play a Movie Clip (MyClip) on my main timeline, starting at a frame named “start” within it’s timeline

and

-Move the playhead on my main timeline to a frame labeled “one”

If anyone can tell me what code I need, I’d greatly appreciate it!
