Hi,

I’m developing a simple Flash movie using movieclips as buttons and functions to control the interaction. My code looks like this, where “b1” is the instance name of the button:

b1.onRollOver = over;  
b1.onRollOut = out;  
b1.onRelease = onrelease;

function over () {  
this.gotoAndPlay(2);  
}

function out () {  
this.gotoAndPlay(7);  
}

function onrelease () {  
this.gotoAndPlay(20);  
}

The functions “over” and “out” works fine, but not “onrelease”. First of all, is this the correct syntax(“onrelease”)? If yes, why doesn’t the code work…?

Thanks!
