hello all.
I’m having problems figuring how to get the playhead to go to the right place. I have a button in a menu movie clip that when pressed, is supposed to go to another movieclip (in the mc the button is in) and play a certain frame. The movieclip I want to go to is basically a mask that also loads images.
I’ve tried
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(“bigmask”, 1);
}
but all that seems to do is go to frame 1 of the current movie.
thanks for any help in advance.

wow I feel dumb. it turns out the alpha value of the mc was set to 0, so it was going there, I just couldn’t see it.

Hmm, if the movie was an MC, use this:
```php
MC.gotoAndPlay(FrameNumber);
```
