Hi folks,

Can anyone please help? I am so lost!

menu\_mc.building\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
\_root.box.attachMovie(“movie1\_mc”, “panel”, 99);  
};  
menu\_mc.dogs\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
\_root.box.attachMovie(“movie2\_mc”, “panel”, 99);  
[color=red]};  
menu\_mc.scrap\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
\_root.box.attachMovie(“movie3\_mc”, “panel”, 99);  
};[/color]
