Ok Ive got a basic actionscript problem:

I have a movieclip on the main stage, called “main\_exits”, and inside that another movie clip called “747\_main\_Deck”.

I have a button in the “main\_exits” movieclip, which when pressed I want it to go to a frame labelled “symbols\_circle” in the “747\_main\_Deck” MC.

here is the actionscript I am using (which doesnt work):

```auto
 on(release){
this.747_main_Deck(gotoAndPlay("symbols_circle"));
}

```

This script is obviously attached to the button which I want to be pressed.

Whats wrong with the script I am using? It comes up with a syntax error, and I dont know what i am doing wrong. Any help?

Thanks in advance!
