Is this possible?

Hello everyone, i wanted to ask is it possible to make such a thing:

There are 3 movieclips let's say "mc1", "mc2", and "mc3".
Movieclip "mc3" is inside both "mc1" and "mc2". Now is there a way to make "mc3" go to different frames depending on the moviclip it is inside?

For example it goes and stops to frame 1 in "mc1" but it does go to frame 2 if it's inside "mc2"..

I don't have a clue what your talking about but if it is inside mc1 the code is:

_root.mc1.mc3

and then whatever you want and for mc2:

_root.mc2.mc3

yes i know that, i need a script that would be like:

If (the "outer" movieclip in which this "inner" movieclip is placed is instanced named "mc1" ) {
GoToAndStop(2);
} else {
If (the "outer" movieclip in which this "inner" movieclip is placed is instanced named "mc2" ) {
GoToAndStop(3);
}
}

Of course this is just an example i dunno if it is possible to detect mc isntance names, maybe there are other ways to get the effect..

if(_root.whatever._currentframe == #){
whatever.gotoAndStop(#);
}

Replace # with the frame numbers..
