flash actionscript: Hello all,

Problem is, On a button, if i have code to load an external MC but also want a
movie clip thats already on the main movie timeline to do something for example
change to a different picture. how would I do this?

Any Help is greatly appreciated

thank you

PS: Im using mx2004

a movieclip can't change to a different picture. you can load a jpg in place
of the movieclip and you can change the frame of the movieclip and you can
attach a movieclip from the library and you can do a lot of other things. but
it doesn't make sense to talk about changing a movieclip to a different
picture. what are you trying to accomplish?

sorry maybe i should have rephrased it better.

I have my main timeline. On the main timeline, 2 movie clips. Lets call them
"A"and "B".

"B" is navigation, and in that MC it has another nested MC inside of it which
has a button. On that button i would like to tell movie clip "A" that is on the
main timeline, to go and play .... lets say frame 10 in its own mc.

Hope that helps

yes, that's clear. attached to your button you can use:

on(press){
_root.A.gotoAndPLay(10); // no matter where your button is within your
movie, _root.A will reference movieclip A that's on the _root timeline.
}
