Hey people,

I’m stuck on figuring this thing out. I’m trying to have a button go back to the main timeline and then goto another mc nested in another mc.

For some reason it the output section when i test this says the following…

Target not found: Target="\_root.printmc" Base="\_level0.instance8.instance29"

Here is the script I have on the button.

on (rollOver) {  
gotoAndPlay(“move”);  
}  
on (press) {  
tellTarget ("\_root.printmc"){  
gotoAndStop(“MTV2”);  
}}  
on (rollOut) {  
gotoAndPlay(“rollover”);  
}

I can email the file if needed…

Thanks in advance for your help.

Mark
