this is how my document is set out…  
-\> means the next this is inside the one before it.  
Scene 1 -\> Menu -\>Tween 1 -\>Button1 -\> home(mc)

what i want to do is… when my mouse rolls over the button1, it will make home(mc) go to a certain frame and start ot play… this is what i could come up with but it didnt work… i got the path wrong i thinks…

button1.home(mc).gotoAndPlay(2);  
}
