I’m having a little problem with my Flash actionscripting.
I’m working on this file [source](http://www.nikomedia.com/books/fish-info.fla)
when I test the MC “testme” the movie works fine, I press the buttons and the content slides to the coresponding section.
when I drop the MC into the main scene it doesn’t work however.
The code is contained inside the MC “sliding content”
onClipEvent (load) {
\_x = 0;
\_y = 82;
```
div = 5;
```
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
\_x += (endX-\_x)/div;
\_root.home.onRelease = function() {
endX = -0;
```
};
_root.stats.onRelease = function() {
endX = -300;
};
_root.map.onRelease = function() {
endX = -600;
};
```
}
any thoughts? I’m sure I’ve made a complete mess of things but can’t figure out why the MC works fine but not the movie.

Hey dude since you moved the movie into another location you need to fix your addressing issues to your buttons.
Just add \_parent.\_parent. instead of \_root.
```auto
_parent._parent.home.onRelease = function() {
endX = -0;
};
_parent._parent.stats.onRelease = function() {
endX = -300;
};
_parent._parent.map.onRelease = function() {
endX = -600;
};
}
```
Hope this helps 😏
