	getURL("http://www.newwebpick.com/_webpick/webpick.php?categories=flash", _parent);
}

so the mc isnt on the root stage, its in a mc. and in the mc is anoher mc which has this code on it.

…
but it wont work. when i press the mc, nothing happens. help

my suggestion is put an instance name on the button and target it ie:

 _root.mc1.mc2.buttoninstance.on (press) {
        getURL("http://www.newwebpick.com/_webpick/webpick.php?categories=flash", _parent);
}

could work but i really have to see your files in order to figure it out :-\

hi, thanks.

well, i cant use _root, as this swf is gonna be externaly loaded into another, but i can use _parent, right?

i’ll try that code, but can anyone tell me the code for using the onEnterFrame handler and hitTest that Voetsjoeba was talking about?

thanks :kir:
