I’m using a movie clip as a button, and I want actionscript to ‘press’ this when the site loads. I’ve searched the forums and have only come across using onPress to do so, but it doesn’t work.

```auto
_root.Interface.Sculpture.Button01.onPress();
stop();

```

I have this on the last frame in the timeline, nothing fancy… anyone know what’s up?
