Hello again

I have a button which is attached/parented(?) - don’t really know the term - to a background, so that it traces out as

```php
level0.bg.buttonName

```

And when the button is pressed I want it to load a move called buttonName+“Offer”, so that whichever button is pressed, the appropriate offer to build comes up.

The problem I am having is that the button is still attached to it’s background, so the movie I am trying to load is actually called bg.buttonNameOffer and not just buttonNameOffer.

Is there a way to break the name of the button away from the background after it has been clicked, so it no longer refers to bg.buttonName?
