Ok i have a movieclip in the mainframe that on a button release gets moved to the center of the screen with some set\_property stuff and then i want the clip to play. So i added a tell\_target on release, the target is /movieclipname and i then Go\_To\_and\_Play the first frame.

I have a stop action as the first frame of the movieclip as to keep it from runing when i dont want it. i want that tell\_target to make the movieclip play but sofar no luck.

PLEASE HELP, thanks!
