You need to use a tell target to communicate from a button in one MC to

another MC. The button actions will look like this:


On (Release)

      Begin Tell Target ("/Instance Name of Next MC")

            Go to and Play ("Label Name")

      End Tell Target

End On


Note: It is important to include the / because that tells Flash to look up

one level, outside the current MC.


Good Luck
