Basically I have 6 Layers

RedButton  
Blue Button  
Green Button  
OrangeButton  
Text  
Actions

Each of the buttons corresponds to a different word which I have nested inside the “Text” movieclip which when pressed SHOULD bring up the word with a little alpha from 0-100  
Each word has an instance name to be referred to as well.

Here’s my action script for the first button

this.RedButton.on(release){  
\_parent.Text.Hello.gotoAndPlay(2);  
}

When it compiles it gives me an error of "Field name expected after “.” operator. Anyone know what this is or how I can fix my code…see any other errors? What’s the best way to approach this movie?

Thank you for all your help…you guys are awesome.
