I have a form that uses PHP to check to see if all variables are filled in. I have a button with

on (release) {  
formcheck();  
}

that checks the formcheck function and then sends the form or gives a popup that tells what part of the form needs to be filled in.

My problem is that I have a movie that I’d loike to act as a button. I’ve done this before with any other command (gotoAndPlay, getURL, etc), but the

on (release) {  
formcheck();  
}

does not work with a mc button, only with a regular button. Does anyone know a way around this, or why it does not work?

Thanks in advance.
