Linking back from movie clips

Question

I want my menu bar to be in a movie clip. How do I link back
to a frame in the main timeline from a movie clip?

Answer 1

Hi velob54,
Interesting question...
This solution concerns actionscript 3.
I put an object on frame 10 of the main timeline, and on
frame 1 put this actionscript:
stop();
then I created a symbol with class name, MyMC and on it's
first frame added the following code:
var t:Timer = new Timer(1000);
var tFunc:Function;
var mt:MovieClip = this.parent as MovieClip; // [object
MainTimeline]
t.addEventListener( TimerEvent.TIMER, tFunc =
function(e:TimerEvent):void
t.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, tFunc );
mt.gotoAndStop(10);
t.start();
I then added an instance of MyMC to frame 1 of the main
timeline after stop();
stop();
addChild(new MyMC());
When I run the movie, after 1 second, the playhead jumps to
frame 10.
Hope this helps.
