Hi, i have a movie clip with several different animated parts in the movie clips timeline. I’ve given them all frame labels. I want to tell a different movie clip (on the main timeline) to play a certain part within the other movie clip(also on the main timeline) when someone has clicked it.

I’ve done a hit test, but im not sure how to tell the movie clip to pay the specific point. What i have down is

\_root.movieclipname.play(framelabel);

Which isnt working :S So whats wrong with that line oO.
