without getting too verbose….i have been learning AS3 over the last week by building a small Flash site. the navigation menu is constructed as a custom class rather than on a keyframe in the flash file itself. I now find myself simply needing to issue a command to control the main flash file’s timeline in this manner…
pages.gotoAndPlay(framelabel);
from the custom class.
help.
or you could pass the movie clip to the class, eliminating the parent stuff, if you are using a base document class.
Alternatively, you can give the pages MC a linkage class name in the library and dynamically add it to the display list(stage), then play it
