Hi

I am facing a problem while i am trying to access the Button object on the stage…  
I am writing the function I am using…

function progressHandler(event:VideoProgressEvent):void  
{  
var bl = Math.round(event.bytesLoaded/1000);  
var bt = Math.round(event.bytesTotal/1000);  
var time:Number = (bl/bt)\*display.metadata.duration;  
var cc = display.findNearestCuePoint(time)  
if (cc != null){  
trace(cc.name+"\_btn");// This gives me the instance name of the button.  
// Now, how can I play with the properties of the  
// button. ‘this’ here gives the main timeline…  
}  
}

Thanks for any help that can be provided…

Vicky
