Instance names and buttons AS2

[MichaelJ]

Hey,
I have a button inside of a movie clip, and when it is pressed, I want a movie clip inside a different movie clip to go to a certain frame. I gave everything instance names, but it's not working.

In the button I have

on(press){
_root.handle.gotoAndStop(3);
}

Again, "handle" is a movie clip in another movie clip. The movie clip it is in - has an instance name of "inv". What code do I need to put on the button to make "handle" go to frame 3?

_root.inv.handle.gotoAndStop(3); didn't work
_root.handle.gotoAndStop(3); didn't work
handle.gotoAndStop(3); didn't work

What can I do to make this work? (the frame in "handle" refuses to change when the button is pressed)

Try:

_parent.handle.[...]
