FLASH: question on targeting the main time line from a button in a movieclip

[ifx]

Hi gang,


I must be tired... because I can't get this one to work....and it seems so

simple. I have a button within a movie clip. When the user activates the

button... I want to send the main timeline (not the movie clip timeline) to

a certain labeled frame. So I opened the movie clip, selected the button and

went to modify instance...did the mouse over event on release... then select

label but the pulldown isn't working...so I type in my label name. Test the

movie...nothing. I'm assuming I have the wrong path so I am unclear on what

the correct path "back" to the main timeline from a clip would be. Any help

would be awesome!


Alan
