Sure, say your mc's have the instance names mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5, and they're on the main timeline, then use:

for(i=0;i<=5;i++){
_root["mc"+i].gotoAndStop(3);
}

Where 3 is the frame to stop at.

waweeeeeeeeeeee
what a quick answer thanks for you pal

now if i want to use a button,,,,,,,,,,,the code will be like this


on (release){
for(i=0;i<=5;i++){
_root["mc"+i].gotoAndStop(3);
}
}

If they are on the main timeline, yep :)

If they are on the main timeline, yep

============================

the code in this matter will be deffernet?
:q: :-\

No, it will still target the same movieclips on the main timeline.

*Oh I just realized this is Flash 5 ! I'm not sure if it will work for Flash 5, I'm an MX guy. If it doesn't, sorry.

*Just checked (http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary026.html), it should work in F5
