Good Day to All,

I figure I would start my venture into AS 3.0 with the simple stuff considering my AS 2.0 endeavors have not been exactly smooth sailing.

Motion tweening was easy as pie. I was able to update my clips accordingly.

Now the buttons…that’s a different story.

Here’s the original AS 2.0 code I had:

```php
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("on");
}

on (rollOut, dragOut) {
gotoAndPlay("off");
}
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay("click");
}
on (release) {
//load Movie Behavior
if (this._parent.container_mc == Number(this._parent.container_mc)) {
loadMovieNum("home.swf", this._parent.container_mc);
} else {
this._parent.container_mc.loadMovie("home.swf");
}
//End Behavior
}

```

I cannot figure how to translate that into AS 3.0. I got a few details on what to do from [Senocular here and [URL=“http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/display/MovieClip.html”]Flash Live Docs here](http://www.senocular.com/flash/tutorials/as3withflashcs3/?page=3#events). Unfortunately I have no idea on how to implement them correctly. :crying:

Here’s a consolidated attempt to implement AS 3.0:

```php
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER;
this.gotoAndPlay("on");

MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT;
this.gotoAndPlay("off");

```

See what I mean? Any advice?

Thank you.
