I have created a simple movie clip with an instance name of “MOVIE”. The movie clip contains a 2 stage tween. I have also labelled the frames of my movie clip. The first label is called “SHOW” and the tween goes from an alpha of 0% to 100%. The next label is called “HIDE” and the tween goes from an alpha of 100% back to 0%. I have a button on the stage in Scene 1. When I click this button, the movie clip plays - but only the frames labelled “SHOW”. I have embedded another button within my movie clip. This button is called “close”. I want this button to play the frames of the movie clip labelled “HIDE”. Except this “close” button does not work. I think I have to use “_root” but I am not sure exactly how to phrase the actionscripting.
The actionscripting that I have used for the buttons are as follows.
The button on the stage in Scene 1:
[COLOR=blue]on (press) {
tellTarget (“MOVIE”) {
gotoAndPlay(“SHOW”);
}
}[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]The button contained within the movie clip:[/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue]on (press) {
tellTarget (“MOVIE”) {
gotoAndPlay(“HIDE”);
}
}[/COLOR]
