I have a movie clip that I want to act as a button. All the states (on, over, etc) all work properly with the following code in the main timeline:

* * *

this.portfolio\_button.onRollOver = function () {  
portfolio\_button.gotoAndPlay("\_over");  
}

this.portfolio\_button.onRollOut = function () {  
portfolio\_button.gotoAndPlay("\_out");  
}

* * *

The problem is that I cannot get this ‘movie clip button’ to goto and play a frame…  
This is the code I’m using for that:

on (release) {  
gotoAndPlay(“Label”);  
}

I’ve even tried to place a button inside the movie clip button and placed this code on it:  
on (release) {  
\_root.gotoAndStop(“Label”);  
}

Can somebody please let me know what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
