Hiya Gil,


Double click on the movie clip symbol, down to the right you will see a

"instance name" box.

Call the movie "sample" then you can tell target "sample" to address the

movie clip.


If I wanted a button on the main timline to start animation at a keyframe

labeled "label" in movie clip

I would double click on button and apply action "tell target"= "sample"  to

"goto and play"= "label".


note: The name of the movie symbol is only really needed to find it in the

library for editing.

When "talking" between movies, movie to maintimline, etc., you need to apply

instance names to them.


Its kinda like my dog is a Chiwawa, but his name is "Jose". To get his

attention I wouldnt call

him chiwawa, I would call him "Jose".


Yo Quiero, Taco Bell!


Adios,
