I’m trying to figure out what is the best way to structure a simple interactive presentation in Flash - I only got a few months programming experience.  
Mine is as such:

home\_mc // contains buttons hbtn1\_mc  
page1\_mc

I have labeled frames on and off to allow for animation of pages elements.  
And in the root timeline the actionscript is as such:

this.onLoad = function () {  
this.home\_mc.gotoAndStop(“on”);}

this.home\_mc.hbtn1\_mc.onRelease = function () {  
this.p1\_mc.gotoAndStop(“on”);  
this.home\_mc.gotoAndStop(“off”);  
}

But it doesn’t work! Can you offer any ideas suggestions, or your way to structure this sort of project?
