Going to a frame label on another timeline 2

[guyphil]

Hi

I have a series of buttons nested inside a movie clips on the stage. I have labels for the buttons so that when the user clicks a button, the playhead moves to a certain label on the main timeline. I'd like to know how to say in actionscript something like:

on (release) {
gotoAndStop("_root.framelabel'a'");
}
or something to that effect.


thanks

on(release){
   _root.gotoAndStop("a");
}

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!

or if the button instance names as the same as the frame labels put this in the main timeline and you can then forget about paths

Button.prototype.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop(this._name);
}
