Well i am using the code:  
[AS]  
button.onRollOver = function(){  
this.gotoAndStop(2)  
}  
[/AS]

But the thing is i want to make it so when i roll over the movieclip with the instance name “button”, it will gotoAndStop on frame 2 of a DIFFERENT movieclip (which is located on \_root). Can someone tell me how to do this?

I thought it might look like this:  
[AS]  
button.onRollOver = function(){  
\_root.button.gotoAndStop(2)  
}  
[/AS]  
But that doesn’t seem to work.

Thanks

Mike
