flash actionscript: I have a main flash movie, then a flash movie that opens inside once a button
is pressed. The internal flash movie has a scroller that has buttons to open
another flash within the second flash movie (three total flash movies). The
issue that I'm having is that the buttons work fine if I place them outside the
scoller, but when I place the buttons within the scoller, they stop working. I
tried playing the flash movie (the second one) outside of the main flash and
added _root. to the button's code and it works just like the other buttons
without. I don't see what the problem is with having the button in or out of
the scroller?? Help please!

Yeah the same scroller thing like I had... I don't remember it exacly
how I got it but it seems like you can't place boutons inside the
movieclip that get attached with the scroller in flash.
So I think I used a movieclip for the bouton and gave it an instance
name with some self coded actionscrip for the rollover and release so I
think I used
1. this. bla bla bla and not _root. bla bla bla
OR 2 I place all the code in the first frame of scene one and just
made a function

I don't exacly remember how I did it and don't have the file anymore
but it must of been something like this... The problem only occured
with one speciede version of flash, I think it was flash 6MX
