Example
In the following example, there is a movie clip on the Stage with the instance name
square_mc. Within that movie clip is another movie clip with an instance name circle_mc.
The following ActionScript lets you modify the
circle_mc parent instance (which is
square_mc) when the circle is clicked. When you are working with relative addressing (using
_parent instead of _root), it might be easier to use the Insert Target Path button in the
Actions panel at first.
this.square_mc.circle_mc.onRelease = function() {
this._parent._alpha -= 5;
};
