controlling one mc timeline from another mc timeline

[Myctapeiro]

I need help controlling the timelines of mc's from inside another mc everything i've tried doesn't work the way want and i was wondering if someone can help me.

Well i'm not totally sure what u mean by 'controlling' but just using gotoAndStop and gotoAndPlay, read the flash help if you don't know how to use them.

Also if you post a fla maybe i'll know what u mean.

I've tried gotoAndPlay, gotoAndStop, and nextFrame but for some reason it's not working

[Myctapeiro]

nevermind i figured it out. i didn't put the parentheses on the end of my .nextFrame().

ok, new problem, i have a MC that restores health, but instead of restoring on section at a time it fills up the life bar and you can't lose health. I'm using the prevFrame() and it's not working, can anyone help me??

[SeiferTim]

Can you post your code for each frame?
I imagine you have a health bar, right?

[Ben H]

Put a stop(); action on each frame in the health bar.

[Myctapeiro]

there are 9 frames, each frame has a stop(); and the last says:
stop();
_root.lives.nextFrame();
this.gotoAndStop(1);
