Please help. I have a button inside a movieclip inside another movieclip that, when it is released, it changes the frame of the main movieclip. I am using tellTarget like this:

```auto
on(release){
tellTarget(_root.setpreguntas.gotoAndStop(nextFrame()));
}

```

the thing is that maybe it doesn’t work because the button is inside the movieclip which is going to change to another frame… could that be the problem?

“setpreguntas” is the main movieclip which contains another movieclip which contains the button with those actions.

Please reply as fast as possible.

Thanks 😜
