Adding separate actions to two duplicateMovieClip instances

1

someone please offer me a little help here? no one seemed to want to help in the two other AS forums…

i’ve inherited a flash clip i’m editing for a client where a button is duplicated when the file opens, creating two separate buttons like this:


function create_menu():Void
{
	position_x = i % 4 * 120 - 180;
	position_y = Math.floor(i / 4) * 120 - 60;

	var fm = menu_item_group.menu_item.duplicateMovieClip("menu_item" + i, i);
	fm.stop();
	fm.bg.gotoAndStop(i + 1);
	fm.over = true;
	fm.item_link = menu_link*;
	fm.item_label = menu_label*;
	fm.item_desc = menu_desc*;
	fm.item_no = i;
	fm.flashmo_button._visible = false;
	fm.over = true;
	fm.flashmo_button.onRollOver = function()
	{
		this._parent.over = false;
	};
	fm.flashmo_button.onRollOut = fm.flashmo_button.onDragOut = function ()
	{
		this._parent.over = true;
	};
	fm.flashmo_button.onRelease = function()
	{
		_root.page = this._parent.item_no + 1;
		_root.play();
		// loadMovieNum("PFSbyStampFinancial.swf",1);
	};
	fm.onEnterFrame = function()
	{
		if (this.over == true)
		{
			this.prevFrame();
		}
		else
		{
			this.nextFrame();
		}
	};
	new Tween(fm, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, tween_duration, true);
	new Tween(fm, "_rotation", Strong.easeOut, 180, 0, tween_duration, true);
	new Tween(fm, "_x", Strong.easeOut, position_x + 50, position_x, tween_duration, true);
	fm_tween = new Tween(fm, "_y", Strong.easeOut, position_y + 100, position_y, tween_duration, true);
	fm_tween.onMotionFinished = function() 
	{
   		fm.flashmo_button._visible = true;
	}
	if (i == total - 1)
	{
		fm_tween.onMotionFinished = function() 
		{
			fm.flashmo_button._visible = true;
			flashmo_logo._visible = true;
			new Tween(flashmo_logo, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, tween_duration, true);
		}
		clearInterval(interval_id);
	}
	i++;
}

i cannot figure out how to add any kind of action on(release) to the different buttons - of course anything i do to it affects them both.

can someone please help?

Thanks so much
