**[font=Arial][size=2]Note[/size][/font]**[left][size=2]If your buttons are not located on the main timeline, you will have to change the path to the container movieclip. In this example the buttons are located on the main timeline, therefore ‘container’ targets the container movieclip correctly. Though, if they are not on the main timeline, you must change container to the appropriate path.[/size]
