if you are putting this in the timeline of D then put\r\r\_root.C.gotoAndPlay(2)\r\r\rit works, I tried it. If it doesn’t work then make sure you have the correct instance names on the MOVIEclips

try changing the \_root. to \_parent.\r\rsorry about that, I didn’t really read thru your original question, I didn’t realize that C and D were nested in B. When they are nested you have to use \_parent instead of \_root.\rIt should work, this one worked for me when they were nested.
