it means you have an object that is null

turn on debugging run the game again to reproduce the error

include the new error here which will include line numbers

paste to code from frame 25 of AttackMC here indicating the line number that is reported in the error

ok it looks like either parent is null or parent isn't a MovieClip

use this code instead and let me know what gets traced out

stop();

trace("parent: " + parent);

trace("mc parent: " + MovieClip(parent));

MovieClip(parent).gotoAndPlay(MovieClip(parent).currentFrame+1);
