flash actionscript: I'm also learning actionscript. I believe the 'secondMovieClip' has to be
the name of a movie clip *instance* rather than the name of the movie clip
itself. I'm not sure if this is your problem however since you didn't
indicate what 'secondMovieClip' is supposed to refer to (instance name of
clip name).

the mouse click inside one movie clip, another movie clip to start running

I mean instance name *or* clip name

Hi! I'm just learning to use flash and of course I am having many problems :S
I have several movie clips inside the main timeline, and I want that in the mouse click inside one movie clip, another movie clip to start running from a certain frame.

Both movie clips are inside the main timeline, so I write that on release: _root.secondMovieClip.gotoAndPlay(130)

I write that on a botton inside the firstMovieClip, but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot!

Seems all fine.
Sure there aren't typos? are names correct?

-c.

Thanks to you both!
Well, at least I know I am doing things right, but it still doesn't work. When it goes to the second movie clip, it is supossed to respect its behaviours right? Because now it DOES go to the second movie clip, but it play it through without respecting the "stops" or "go to" or anything.

And yes, I was refering to an instance that is in the main timeline.

Thanks again!
