Hiya,

Basically im looking to have a button have an action on a instance in a different level,

If the instance “Info” is in the same movieclip, the code im using is,

```auto
stop();
import gs.TweenLite;
import fl.motion.easing.*;
import gs.easing.*

aqua3.buttonMode = true;
aqua3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onDown5,false,0,true);

function onDown5(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    TweenLite.to(info,1,{y:"-400",ease:Back.easeOut,delay:.2});
}

```

“Info” is the instance im looking at.

could I not do something like this?

```auto
stop();
import gs.TweenLite;
import fl.motion.easing.*;
import gs.easing.*

aqua3.buttonMode = true;
aqua3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onDown5,false,0,true);

function onDown5(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    TweenLite.to(info "Scene 1",1,{y:"-400",ease:Back.easeOut,delay:.2});
}

```

bascially what i think im asking is how do i get actionscript to work on an instance in a different level

So the actionscript is in Level, “Background”  
Scene 1/background

The button i want the actionscript to work with “aqua3” is in:  
Scene 1/background

and the instance i want the actionscript to apply to “Info” is in:  
Scene 1

kind regards, Phil
