Well, I’m working on my portfolio site, and Im working on the links right now. I have a link “home” heres the script for it.

on (rollOver) {  
gotoAndPlay(“homeover”)  
}  
on (rollOut) {  
gotoAndPlay(“homeout”)  
}

I have also made a movie clip on a different layer, that I want to play when you click on the “home” button. the movie clip is called home\_page

I thought the correct code would be this

on (rollOver) {  
gotoAndPlay(“homeover”)  
}  
on (rollOut) {  
gotoAndPlay(“homeout”)  
}  
on (press) {  
\_root.home\_page.gotoAndPlay(1);  
}

It says no script errors, but it fails to work. Can anyone help me? I hope to have my site up by this weekend.

Thanks in advancedd.
