Hi,  
My main movie (\_root) has \*\*ONE \*\*frame. From this frame I do my animations by a tween class (scaleTo, alphaTo etc.). This works fine.  
I have a mc1 in the library which is being attached to a mc2 by a new linkage name MC1 on the stage.  
The mc1 has \*\*50 frames \*\*with a stop() at frame 20. How can I tell the mc1 gotoAndPlay(21)?  
I have used  
[AS]  
\_root.mc2.MC1.gotoAndPlay(21);  
[/AS]

No luck. Any tips here please?
