flash (macromedia):

I just can't figure it out... I want a button to have the main timeline play
when pressed - it is part of a movie in a scroller, so I need it to reach out
from the scroll movie to the main timeline and tell it what to do, but all I
have tried isn't working.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Thanks for the help, I'm closer now with a slight change. Now the root plays,
but the variable isn't passed out to the main timeline so I just loop...

I'm now trying

on (release) {
_root.play();
gohere = "HEin";
}

And here's the working answer, thanks for the help:

on (release) {
_root.play();
_root.gohere = "HEin";

i have got the same problem but in as3. I really can't figure it out. _root does not function in as3. please please help
