Hi,

Just wondered if anyone could inform me as to why theis is currently not working. Im sure everything is correct and should work though :-/

Heres the fla : [http://www.horner.dsl.pipex.com/livebrief/TreeScene(small).fla](http://www.horner.dsl.pipex.com/livebrief/TreeScene(small).fla)

On the main page is a movie clip containing all my elements of a menu. Inside that movie clip is a movie clip called “show menu”. When this is clicked i am wanting the timeline to play an animation in the holding movie clip.

Heres some code :  
[LIST]  
[_]“menupanel”= movieclip on root timeline[/LIST][LIST]  
[_]“showmenu” = movieclip inside the “menupanel” movieclip[/LIST]

```auto
stop();
 
this.showmenu.onRollOver = function () {
    showmenu.gotoAndPlay("up")
}
this.showmenu.onRollOut = function () {
    showmenu.gotoAndPlay("down")
}
this.showmenu.onMouseUp = function () {
    menupanel.gotoAndPlay("show")
}

```

Really appreciate some input

Cheers

Tom
