Hi all.

I recently did the complexbutton tutorial on this site  
( [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/button\_effect.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/button_effect.htm) ) but instead  
of adding the getURL on release I want to simply add gotoAndPlay() so it just  
jumps to another frame. I’m just wondering, allthough I guess it’s rather simple, how to do this. I’ve tried myself and I get no errors when I do so, but it still doesn’t work. The code I tried with was:

this.onRelease = function() {  
gotoAndPlay(120);  
};

I’ll appreciate help 🙂

you are on track and correct, but you need to specify which timeline to “gotoAndPlay”. If it is the timeline that this button is on, you would use:

```auto
this.onRelease = function() {
_parent.gotoAndPlay(120);
};

```

It works perfectly now. Thank you very much! 🙂
