controlling one clip with another

Hi

I am a newb.

I am trying to control my man movie with a button that is inside another movie, could anyone tell me how to control ?

is it something like::

on (release) {
parent.play();
}

or maybe

on (release) {
top.play();
}


can anyone help?

Give the movie clip that you are trying to play, an instance name of clip and then use this code inside your button:

thanks very much it was '_root.' that i couldnt remember,

thanks very much
