Hi,

```
This is probably a really simple question....

I have a root timeline in which contains a movie clip on a certain frame.

Inside that movieclip, on it's second frame, there is a button.

I would like to use this button, when clicked, to move take the user to a frame on the root timeline.

Anyone know the how to do this.

```

Peace to all mankind.
