hi all  
I need help again with the buttons, I thought I had it all figured out!

[http://www.eediva.net/portfolio/clients/btneffect.fla](http://www.eediva.net/portfolio/clients/btneffect.fla)

So it looks like it works fine, except when I test it, it won’t go to the specified URLS and when I export as a swf, I get 2 errors. I understand it has something to do with the buttons, I gave them all instance names, and I’m thinking i have to somehow associate them with the instructions, I’ve tried:

```auto
on (btnProj.rollOver)=//action;

```

&

```auto

btnProj.onRollOver{
//action
}

```

that doesn’t work. I don’t know what else to do, think you can help? thanks Fidel 🙂

```auto

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=button, frame=1:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
     on (rollOver){

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=button, frame=1:Line 4: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
     on (rollOut){

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=button, frame=1:Line 7: Invalid mouse event specified.
     on (btnProj.release){
