Restart a Moviclip from the stage after stoping it

Question

On my main stage I have a few Movieclips, which all start at a different frame position, and also end at a different frame position. So I put a keyframe to the Movieclips, after the animation is finished, and put a stop() on it. After all animations are finished, the main stage also gets a stop() and a replay button appears. Now if I click on the replay button, every movieclip should start again - of course. I have tried gotoAndPlay(1) but the moviclips are not starting with that, only the mainstage (of course, i know that moviclips have their own timeline.. ) So how can I restart every animation with just the one click on the replay button?

In Flash, movieclips are running seperate from the Main Stage. In order to run all the movieclips, you should restart all the movieclips: Let's say the names of the movieclips are MovieClip1, MovieClip2 and MovieClip3.

on(release){
    gotoAndPlay(1);
    MovieClip1.gotoAndPlay(1);
    MovieClip2.gotoAndPlay(1);
    MovieClip3.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

Hope this will work.

I have already tried that, but then I get an error: Accress of undefined property MovieClip1. (when MovieClip1 is the name of my MovieClip) – Brigitte Fellner Nov 18 '13 at 15:40
