Hi all,

I have a frame label on the root timeline, and a button somewhere down on level 6 (movieclip of a movieclip of a movieclip… etc). When i press the button, I want to gotoAndStop the root’s frame label…

I thought if i put this on the button it would work…

```auto

on(release){
gotoAndStop(_root["map"])
}

```

but it didnt…

Any help is appreciated. Also, have I got the right idea by using [] ? Or are they used for another purpose?

Thanks all,

Len
