Hi there,

I was wondering if someone can help me. I have some difficulties playing a certain frame in another MovieClip. I have two MovieClips, MovieClip(content) and MovieClip(about\_page). The about me button is placed in MovieClip(content) and I used the following code to go and play MovieClip(about\_page) that is placed in the timeline:

about\_btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, myrl1 );  
function myrl1( event:MouseEvent ):void  
{  
gotoAndPlay(“37”);  
}

But now when MovieClip(about\_page) loaded i have a button that must go back and play a certain frame in MovieClip(content) I used the following:

close\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,close1);

function close1 (Event:MouseEvent): void  
{  
gotoAndPlay (“29”);  
}

close\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,close1b);

function close1b (Event:MouseEvent): void  
{  
MovieClip(root).content.gotoAndPlay(“44”);

}

But for some reason it never goes back to Movieclip(content) and I get the following:

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.  
at content\_fla::about\_page\_101/close1b()

Some help would be much appreciated!!  
Thanks,
