Question

simple one here surely..

mybutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, thefunction);

function thefunction(event:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndPlay(** frame on child movie clip **);
}

How do I target the frame ?

Answer 1

Call function from the child MovieClip entering the frame as parameter to gotoAndPlay

For example, given a symbol with instance name childMovieClip

childMovieClip.gotoAndPlay(2);

flash.display.MovieClip gotoAndPlay
