CreateEmptyMovieClip woes

Hi

I’ve created an empty movie clip on the stage called ‘photographs’, to which I’ve attached a movie which I’ve given the instance name ‘p1_mc’. This movieclip contains another with an instance name of ‘p1_mc_base’, which in turn contains a third with an instance name of ‘close_btn’.

I need to target ‘close_btn’ to call an onRelease function. I’m thinking the path would be:

_root.photographs.p1_mc.p1_mc_base.close_btn

which is borne out when I list the objects in the movie, but I can’t get it to work. I’ve used getNextHighestDepth() with the createEmptyMovieClip and attachMovie functions.

It’s driving me nuts - can anybody help me out?

Thanks
