set property within movie clip

[Thoe99]

I have MovieClipB within MovieClipA. I need to set a property of MovieClipB from within MovieClipA, but with my coding, it won't work and the debugger says

Target not found: Target="/MovieClipB" Base=_level0.label"

I have named MovieClipB, put it inside MovieClipA, and used the following syntax to call it out when needed:

setProperty ("movieclipa", _x, "-42"

I don't know how confusing I sound, but if someone can help me out with this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Try this to access the clip...

_root.clipA.clipB._x=-42;

...which leads you through to the "buried" clip one level of the movie at a time.
