I have a mc called display and I have a button. This button is inside another mc.When the button is pressed i want the movieclip mc to go to frame label “tv” (obviously with out the quotation marks). this is what i have

on (release) {  
\_root.display (gotoAndPlay (“tv”);  
}

why is this not working? :huh:
