Okay,  
This is a dumb question, but I have forgotten.

I have a Button within a movieclip.  
The movieclip does a show/hide function when a button is pressed.  
the button simply contains:

on (release) {  
gotoAndStop(“contact”, 1);  
}

However, this button action does not function.

Any clues as 2 what I am doing wrong?  
Any suggestions of better scripting.

thanks!..
