it should be a quick answer. I’ve got a movie clip right. inside that mc is a button.

visual:

\<main\>\<movieclip\> button \</movieclip\>\</main\>

**[COLOR=Red]I want the button to be able to change frames in the main movie from inside it’s movie clip[/COLOR]**

I dont know how to explain it any better. hopefully it makes sense.

Please help!
