How can I make a button inside a Movieclip send me to a frame in the main timeline?

If I've understood your structure the way I think I have, the following should work. On your main timeline, add a new layer called Actions and on the frame that has the movieclip containing your buttons add a keyframe to this layer. Go to the movieclip that contains the buttons.

Open the actions panel and type Stop() . Create a new layer called Button actions click on the (blank) kayframe on this layer and add the following code.

Stage is available anywhere where the displayObject is linked to the stage. You can give a reference object to that control button. Your timeline object won't change so its fine.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
