Hello everyone, I have a little problem in my game. I have made 30 movieclips for my level selection screen. Then I create a movieclip with the same name using a for loop. With that code I make roll\_over function showing a Tooltip.  
I then want to trace what button is being clicked. My whole code is here:  
[http://pastebin.com/mWXkmgZt](http://pastebin.com/mWXkmgZt)  
I want to trace what button is clicked, so I can show it on my tooltip textbox.

Can anyone please help me with this.

Regards,  
Mvrb

_EDIT_ it is fixed now
