I have a MovieClip that’s inside another MovieClip that belongs to a MovieClip Container that works inside a function in my Stage (Srry for the huge confusion :P). In that MovieClip i have a button that goes back and runs that function again, so i tried this

In my stage i put:

```auto
var fuubar:Function = showArtista;

```

and then, inside that MovieClip :

```auto
root["fuubar"](2)

```

Except it says it can’t find the function and there is no standard value. Any ideas?
