hey i use to have this code but i wasnt working -

```auto

button_array = ["home", "plans", "terms", "contact"];
for (var i in button_array) {
 btn = this[button_array*];
 btn.clip = this[button_array*]+"_mc";
 btn.onRelease = function() {
  _root.fromName = btn.clip;
  content_mc.gotoAndPlay(36);
 };
}

```

so i forced to change to individual onRelease functions -

```auto

home.onRelease = function() {
  _root.fromName = "home_mc"
  content_mc.gotoAndPlay(36);
 };
 
plans.onRelease = function() {
  _root.fromName = "plans_mc"
  content_mc.gotoAndPlay(36);
 };
 
terms.onRelease = function() {
  _root.fromName = "terms_mc"
  content_mc.gotoAndPlay(36);
 };
 
contact.onRelease = function() {
  _root.fromName = "contact_mc"
  content_mc.gotoAndPlay(36);
 };

```
