Hi, I am coding buttons for drop down menu that is nested in it's own m.c. and a.script I've pointed to
"on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop(10);
} " which is wrong to me, and isn't working, due to flash is seeing it as going to same m.clip/self, so I then tried
"on (release) {
gotoAndPlay._root.Slidez_n_logo(17);
}" which I came to after reordering the code, I know it can be vice versa and both are ok'd in a.script checker but still, it doesn't go to the frame, whethor it's a seperate frame #, root path..etc.

Can anyone see what I'm missing?

Thanxz,

on(release) {
_root.Slidez_n_logo.gotoAndPlay(17);
}

Almost

nope, it's just the same as my code above like I already mentioned that I tried it vice versa and ur suggestion and my trial and errors/implentations still result in no path selection connection...weird.

I thought it may be the name with underscores but nope...

Anyother options/insights?

try tracing different things for the release

just do:

trace(this);
trace(this._parent);
trace(this._parent._parent);

Keep tracing and adding stuff on until you find the scope youre looking for, then chuck a gotoAndPlay on the end and all is good.
