</div>

in my game i use two labels.  
inside the first label i have a movie clip named “a” and inside the other label i have a movie clip named “b”.  
in a b’s command i’m trying to insert a price to “a”.

i tried putting in b’s command : “\_root.\_root.a\_mc.price = 2;” (something like that), but it didn’t work.

help me get out…:jailbreak…please!!!
