I have made a clock that runs from 0 to 60 seconds.  I have turned it into a
Movie Clip named timer_mc.  I have nested timer_mc within a parent timeline.  
The parent timeline contains a set of ten math problems.  As the student
answers each problem, he moves around in the parent timeline, but the clock in
timer_mc is unaffected and counts out how long the problems are taking to
answer. When the student has completed all ten problems I  have loaded a
stop_btn that appears on the parent timeline.

Here is the question.  How do I get this stop_btn to activate the actionscript
in the nested Movie Clip timer_mc?

The actionscript in timer_mc changes as the clock continues to run.  For
example, frames 1-200 represent the first 20 seconds on the clock (each second
is 10 frames).  If the student has completed the ten questions in the parent
Timeline and activated the stop_btn within these first 20 seconds, I want the
actionscript in frame1 in timer_mc to activate.  If the student takes longer
than 20 seconds I want the actionscript at frame 201 to activate.

The actionscript that will be activated will be a simple gotoAndPlay command,
sending the student to a different location on the parent timeline.  If under
20 seconds, text will pop up that reads "Good work", if over 20 seconds the
text will read "You are slow".
