I can’t do this on CS4. I used to be able to do this on CS2 and CS3.  
In the Actions panel, when I select Frame Label, it does not allow/show the label on a main timeline from an embedded movie with a button.

Can someone tell me how to do this?

This is what I would like to do:  
There is a movie clip on the main time line with labels called "First and Second.  
The movie clip with a timeline which has an embedded button.  
I want the embedded buttons to be able to control the timeline using labels called “First” and “second” on the main timeline.

I notice that if I type in manually:  
[COLOR=“Blue”]on (release)  
this.\_parent.gotoAndStop(“Second”);  
}[/COLOR]  
But when i try to do this using Script Assistant, it does not work and it give me this instead:  
[COLOR=“Blue”]on (release)  
gotoAndStop(“Scene 1”, “Second”);  
}[/COLOR]  
And this does not work.

How and what function would I need to choose if I can to control timeline from an embedded button when using Script Assist?

Thank you

I’m using AS2 setting on CS4 :puzzled:
