Trying to get a button in a loaded swf to perform the same function as button in main swf using a local connection. Loaded swf is home page content with nav buttons for a scrolling web page. Tried to copy and paste some code I found but it is not working.

original working code for button in main swf:

btnProducts\_mc.onRelease = function () {  
this.enabled=false;  
var result\_tween:Object = new Tween(scroll\_mc,"\_x",Regular.easeOut,scroll\_mc.\_x,-1560,1.5,true);  
result\_tween.onMotionFinished=function(){  
btnProducts\_mc.enabled=true;  
}

local connection code for button in loaded swf:

on (release) {  
salesLC = new LocalConnection();  
salesLC.send(“sales\_lc”, “goToProducts”, btnProducts);  
}

local connection code in main swf:

salesLC = new LocalConnection();  
salesLC.goToProducts = function(btnProducts) {  
this.enabled=false;  
var result\_tween:Object = new Tween(scroll\_mc,"\_x",Regular.easeOut,scroll\_mc.\_x,-1560,1.5,true);  
result\_tween.onMotionFinished=function(){  
result\_tween\_mc.enabled=true;  
};  
listeningLC.connect(“sales\_lc”);  
}

Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.
