[flash8 script2.0]using code to define nested buttons

hiya,
first off thanks to anyone if they have any insight or help for me.

so i’m have a MC that is a nav bar with nested buttons. The buttons themselves are calling on a dynamic text field on my main timeline but I’m unable to have any code from the nested buttons to WORK. I’ll include my FLA so you can see what i’m trying to do. I guess that instanced items inside of a MC requires a little extra but with my knowledge i’m not sure what that is…

in jist.
have a MC that is a nav bar. It houses buttons. The buttons inside the MC do not respond to code ony the _root timeline or code defined specifically to them. What I am trying to achieve is the nested buttons calling on my dynamic text field and loading outside .txt files.

I manipulate the buttons on the main timeline and get the effects i’m looking for but not inside of the MC.

Thanks anyone who takes the time,
