Hi everyone,  
nice to meet you all!

I am a rookie in flash, so please forgive me if I asked anything stupid. 😏

I have some movie clips inside other movieclip like:

Scene1  
├-----------choice A  
│　　　　　　　├----left menu  
│　　　　　　　│　　　└---- button  
│　　　　　　　└----show box  
├-----------choice B  
└-----------choice c

Is there anything I can do in the AS so that when I press the button in “left menu”, the movieclip in “show box” will play? :puzzled:  
Which means…can I back reference something? 😏

Thanks!!!
