hey there 🙂  
I am trying to make a button jump to a label in the main timeline from within a movieclip but I dont think i have the syntax etc correct. I’m getting “access of undefined property \_root” when I run the following code. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong here? heres the code…

menuButton\_IN.pHome\_IN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_DOWN, onPressHandler);

function onPressHandler(myEvent:MouseEvent){  
\_root.gotoAndPlay (“home”);  
}

… any help would be great!
