I’m looking for some help in targeting a movie clip. I have two frames in my fla right now.  
Frame 1: A simple movie clip (not labled) that plays when prompted by a button. Also another button inside that mc. Now, the idea is to click that button inside the mc on this frame to goto frame 2 and play that second mc.  
Frame 2: A mc named scene2.

How do I do it? Im using MX and tried the tell target command. I get the  
Target not found: Target="\_level0.scene2" Base="\_level0.instance1"  
error.

Please help.

don’t name your mc a scene name…

that could be the prob. It is not finding the MC you are looking for…

post the .fla if you still need help…
