Hey guys i have a movieclip in a scene that i want to target with the actionscript in the first frame. The movie clip is called up\_btn and im trying to target a label called “over” within it.

So here is my code i know im doing something wrong i just dont know what.

up\_btn.rollOver  
up\_btn.gotoAndPlay(“over”);

It suppose to seens something like this:

```auto
up_btn.onRollOver = function()
{
  this.gotoAndPlay("over");
}

```

I thought for sure that would work would the fact that i also have a couple of other button states conflict with that like:

up\_btn2.onPress = function() {  
myInterval = setInterval(movedragger2, 18, -1);  
};

</div>

would any of those settings interfere with the flash?

Got it this was apparantly what its supposed to say:

up\_btn.onRollOver = function(){  
up\_btn.gotoAndPlay(“over”);  
}
