[color=black][font=Arial]hi guys[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial] [/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]first of many post. I am Having a problem controlling an embedded video which i imported. This question is probably very simple for all you flash experts out there but i have to start somewhere. I apologise in advance. , have a video and its controlling buttons on a timeline but not the main time line. Have coded my play button as follows. [/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial] [/font][/color]

[color=black]font=Arial {  
gotoAndPlay (750);  
}  
[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]Unfortunately it only makes the main timeline play head move to this frame not timeline which i want. [/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial] [/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]So my question is how do i code my button so that its controls the timeline i am in rather than the main timeline. Any feed back would be super! [/font][/color]
