I have a MovieClip called “mousetest” that I can move from a button on the stage:

```auto
 
Código: 
on (click) { 
_root.mousetest._visible = 1; 
_root.mousetest._x=210; 
_root.mousetest._y=201; 
} 

```

Inside this MC “mousetest” I have a buttom that “close” (hide/move) the MC but I can’t make this WORK, I try evrything I don’t know if is a problem using \_root

Boton dentro del MC

```auto
 
on (click) { 
_root.mousetest._visible = 0; 
_root.mousetest._x=800; 
_root.mousetest._y=800; 
} 

```

But until know I don’t know how to make \_global work or if this is the best solution someone can give a hand on this one? (step by step plz)

Thank you.

I Don’t have a clue how to implement \_global
