I created MC in which I put antoher mc and button inside this. These buttons should open new window with something else i.e. html page. I created special effect which scroll these images in MC. I don’t know why method “on (Release)” doesn’t work with these buttons. Please check my .fla why it happens.

Thanks !!

Do you have something similar to study with relative and absolute adressing?? this, \_root, \_parent and levels ??

I’ll be very grateful!

[Absolute vs. Relative Referencing](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12462)  
[Top Level Scope (_\_global_, _\_level_, _\_root_)](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/oop/AS1OOPObjectScope2.htm)  
[_\_global_ Again](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12948)

The basic things you need to know are this:  
[LIST=1]  
[_] **\_level** - the foundation of any Flash movie, this is where all objects are instantiated and ultimately located. There can be up to 16000 levels though \_level usually only comes into play when using the loadMovieNum or l_oadVariablesNum\* functions. \_level is a MovieClip.  
[_] **\_root** - a reference to the level that the movie clip is in, in most cases this will be \_level0.  
[_] **this** - a reference to the current scope.  
[_] **\_parent** - a reference to the movie clip in which the current movie clip is in, this ends at \_level which has no parent.  
[_] **\_global** - an object available at all scopes without reference, it contains the all of the classes and top-level functions used in the movie.  
[\*]Absolute referencing is done through a reference to _\_root_ or _\_level_. Relative referencing begins at the current scope and uses _\_parent_ to move up through the scopes.[/LIST]:hoser:
