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

You need to use tell target. Type in a forward slash (/) for the main
time line in the target box, then you can select the go to button.
When you used to go to label directly you were trying to tell the
timeline of the movie clip to go to the labeled frame.
