_root

1

::Hi, I have a problem:

  1. I have 3 advanced rollover butons which are inside a movie clip each one of them, and there is a script on each button that refers to the main time line with the _root, the script on the first button(inside the butt1MC) is:
 
on (rollOver) {gotoAndPlay(2);
}
on (rollOut) {gotoAndPlay(8);
}

on (release) {gotoAndStop(17); 
if (_root.butt2MC._currentFrame == "17") {
 _root.butt2MC.gotoAndPlay(8);
}
if (_root.butt3MC._currentFrame == "17") {
 _root.butt3MC.gotoAndPlay(8);
}
}
  1. I am using the accordion component as a navigation so in one of the screens I am using the buttons, but they don’t work properlly as they are working when they are on the main time line in another MC.

I was reading the help and I found out that _lockroot should have something to do with it, but it is not clear to me at all.

Any help would be usefull thank you ::
