ActionScripting Buttons

[Gwydion]

I am trying to write script for a button from the _root timeline for a button located in a movie clip named "navbar". I want the button to make the movie clip's timeline goto and play the frame labeled "audio". This is the code I've come up with.

_root.navbar.avbutton.onRelease = function() {
_parent.doRelease(gotoAndPlay ("audio&quot);
};

However, I can't seem to get the button to work. Can someone tell me what is wrong with my code, or a different way to do this. I would rather not code the button, because I want all of my code in a central location to make it easier to revise in the future.

Thanks for any help you can give.

is that code MX? i don't recognise it. anywho try this:

on(press) {
_root.navbar.gotoAndPlay("audio&quot
}

yes it is MX.

I will give it a try. Thanks

This script is a little dated, but it will still work perfectly in MX.

tellTarget ("_root.navbar&quot {
gotoAndPlay("Audio"
}


Good Luck!!
