I am having problems accessing a button after I have attached it to the stage from the library…

My code is as such:

map\_mc.onRelease = function(){  
empty\_mc.attachMovie(“map\_functions”,“map\_close”,this.getNextHighestDepth());  
}  
empty\_mc.map\_close.close\_mc.onRollOver = function(){  
this.colorTo(0x20AEAE,1.5);  
}

On the rollover - the movie recognises nothing as executable.

OK \>\> Yes - I have linked in the properties, an identifier for AS Export … for the original map\_functions, inside it is an MC called close\_mc - This MC is linked for AS Export as close\_mc

…Why is this not working?

PS. the function calls are from Lacos Tween engine.

Any Advice would be great …
