Flash5 player differences from Flash4 PLEASE HELP

[kyle1]

I am using Flash 5 but it seems the _root.mc is not supported in the earlirer versions of the Flash player since all my users are downlevel some buttons don't navigate properly is there any other script I can use or anyother cool trick I can use to dig myself out of this hole I really need to fix this

on (release) {
tellTarget ("_root.mc1.mc2.mc3&quot{
gotoAndPlay (1);
}
}

First off, in Flash 5, you don't need to use the tellTarget action as you have done, and you could simply write your above script as:

on (release) {
_root.mc1.mc2.mc3.gotoAndPlay (1);
}

Hope you're aware that this action is only telling mc3 to go to and play 1...

As for compatibility with earlier versions of Flash you would use something like this:

on (release) {
tellTarget ("/mc3&quot {
gotoAndPlay (1);
}
}
