I have a movielip called ‘Room’. Within Room, I also have another movieclip called ‘Newspaper’. I write this code in for the newspaper:

```auto
newspaper_mc.onRelease = function() {
 newspaper_mc.play ()
}

```

So when the newspaper movieclip is clicked, it plays. BUT within newspaper movieclip I have several buttons and I want these buttons to play different frames within the newspaper movieclip when clicked. I put some code in for the buttons, BUT when the buttons are clicked it ignores the code I wrote, and continues playing the next frame, and the next till it reaches the end within Newspaper mc.

How do I get around this?
