Hello,

I have a small movie clip w/ a button that increments a variable and displays it in a text field w/in said movie. The code works perfectly when I run the movie clip by itself.

When I load the movie clip into another movie the actionscript suddenly doesn’t work.

I’ve set the button code w/ in the loaded clip like this:

mc\_btn\_cntr.onRelease = function()  
{  
cnt\_var++;  
this.txt\_counter = cnt\_var;  
}

I just don’t get it.

Any Ideas?  
thanks
