I have the following script over 3 buttons they are in one frame in there own layer with the below script in a actions layer above. This does exactly what i want however, i am struggling with actualy making the buttons work.

I need it to roll over and then it plays a mc later down the timeline on another layer obviously and then click go to a new page later in the timeline ore a new scene have not yet decided yet.

Any ideas am sure its simple but i cannot get it to work, i have the curser changing but no click through.

Thanks for any advice or pointing in the right direction.🙂
