goto and play label under movieclip? 1

[greengrassbrian]

how do i set an action to go to and play a label within a movieclip that is placed on a labeled keyframe within the scene?

more details:
I'm creating an alternate link that goes straight to my demo reel.

on the first frame i need to give it an action that instead of playing regularly goes to the portfolio section (labeled keyframe portfolio)...but it can't stop there-> there's a movieclip which within there's a label called entertainment....

i want it to go to the 'entertainment' label upon loading...

any help out there?

If I understand your structure correctly try this.

on(release){
   _root.gotoAndStop("portfolio");
   with(_root.movieClip){
      gotoAndStop("entertainment");
   }
}

This assumes the button will be on the main timeline and that the movieclip housing the "entertainment" label is also on the main timeline.

Hope it helps.


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