Hi I’m new to as3 and going round in circles.  
I want to make 5 buttons visible after a logo has animated.  
I have a function called vis that successfully makes the buttons visible.  
How do I call this from within the movie clip (instance name ‘logo’?)

first frame of main timeline code:  
[FONT=Courier New]stop();

function vis () {  
webMC.visible = true;  
animMC.visible = true;  
interactMC.visible = true;  
dMC.visible = true;  
soundMC.visible = true;  
cvMC.visible = true;  
contactMC.visible = true;  
}

```
webMC.visible = false;
animMC.visible = false;
interactMC.visible = false;
dMC.visible = false;
soundMC.visible = false;
cvMC.visible = false;
contactMC.visible = false;

```

[FONT=Verdana]code on last frame of logo movie clip:

[FONT=Courier New]stop();[/FONT]  
[FONT=Courier New]this.parent.logo.vis();[/FONT]  
[/FONT]
