In Adobe Flash, I cant make a gotoAndPlay strip of code to work in a movieClip,

[Colin R]

referring to the main stage? I have this button inside a movieClip. I want to make it so that if you click on the button, it will goto Frame 3, but OUTSIDE of the movieclip. I tried _parent.gotoAndPlay(3); but that did not work.

Any Suggestions?

try _root.gotoAndPlay(3);
