I just need to know how to set the on (whatever) for an instanced button in the \_root level

I figured it would work like this (“link” being the name of the buttons instance)

[FONT=Courier New]\_root.link.on (release){  
getURL(url\_obj, “\_blank”)  
}[/FONT]

I get an error on test

[FONT=Courier New]Expected a field name after ‘.’ operator.  
\_root.link.on (release){[/FONT]

I’m working in MX but would prefer output in 5
