flash (macromedia): I am sure this is easy..
I have 2 movie clips on the main timeline

Dog and Cat

I wish for dog to have a button that will send cat to frame "oo"

so on dog I have the following action on a button

on (release) {
//root_.cat.gotoAndStop ("oo");
trace("dddd");
}

I have also tried
//parent_.cat.gotoAndStop ("oo"); .... insted of root_

the trace dddd is just me trying to figure it out

oh ... gee whizz ,,, i suspected something like this
