I have designed a movie file made of three buttons although when I try and link a button to a new frame in the animation, I can only link to the frames within the movie clip. Is there any way I can either close the movie clip then link to a frame or somehow link to the whole animation, not just within that clip?

Links within movie files?

hi
All you have to do is utilise the "tell Target" statement:
_level0/xxx targets the movie clip instance "xxx" which resides in the main timeline from any movie-clip
_level0 targets the main timeline
i.e. Begin Tell Target ("_level0"
Go to and Stop (8)
End Tell Target
....makes the movie go to frame 8 on the main timeline.
There's various combinations of these, basically you can target anything you like within a movie clip, even other swf's.
Hope it helps
