    <p>In my timeline, I have a 'background' layer, an 'actions' layer and a 'play' layer (all have just 1 frame). The background layer has a MovieClip called backgroundMC and when you double click the MovieClip, there is a MovieClip called analysisScreenMC. In the timeline for analysisScreenMC, there is a folder called 'Title Bar' and inside 'Title Bar' there is a layer called 'answers' which has a motion tween which makes analysisScreenMC fade out to 50% in a span on 15 frames. </p> <p>The 'play' layer just has a MovieClip called playButton. </p> <p>Now, when playButton is clicked, I want to play analysisScreenMC so that it fades out. Here is what I tried.</p> <pre><code>import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flashx.textLayout.formats.Float; function playButtonClicked(evt:MouseEvent):void { analysisScreenMC.play(); } playButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playButtonClicked); </code></pre> <p>when I run this, it gives me an error saying 'Access of undefined property analysisScreenMC.'</p> <p>Any idea on how to fix this?</p> <p>Note: I am using Adobe Flash CS 5 and Actionscript 3.</p> <p>Edit: When I put</p> <pre><code>trace("backgroundMC="+ backgroundMC+", backgroundMC.analysisScreenMC="+ backgroundMC.analysisScreenMC); </code></pre> <p>inside the </p> <pre><code>function playButtonClicked </code></pre> <p>this is what it traces</p> <pre><code>backgroundMC=[object analysisScreenInside_1], backgroundMC.analysisScreenMC=[object MovieClip] </code></pre> <p>analysisScreenMC is the instance name of analysisScreenInside</p>

    2. CO@SlyRaskal yes the code is in the actions layer in the main timeline. How do I tell it that analysisScreenMC is inside the background layer / inside backgroundMC?

    3. COPlease verify that you have accurately described the hierarchy of your MovieClips. The example I created on my machine for the answer I posted based on your description worked fine on my computer, which leads me to believe that there may be something that needs more clarification.
