control a movie from within another movie in macromedia flash?

Question

Ok... so to simplify it as much i can:

Let's say i have a movie A and a movie B. Both have 10 keyframes and appear in frame 1 in the main timeline next to each other. Now, lets say that i am seeing the content of frame 5 in movie A, and there is a button on frame 5 of movie A. I would like the button to cause movie B go to frame 10 and stop.

What action would i give that button/how would i do that?

The scenario i described is the very barebone version of what i need, so please don't tell me how to solve this problem in a different way. All i need to know is what action that button needs to cause the other movie to go to a different frame. I am working on a web site and having problem with video sounds playing from one movie clip when viewing another, and need to reset keyframes in each movie. Anyways, i was pretty sure 'tell target' would work, but it doesnt seem to...

please help! serious answers only - thanks!

Answer 1

first give the btn in movie A an instance name. also give Movie 2 instance name.
then create a layer and open action script in it write
\\btn name == btn1
the movie 1 == m2
btn1.onRelease = function(){
_root.m2.goToAndStop(10);
}
