I have one MC with the following AS:  
[INDENT]stop();  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (rewind == true) {  
prevFrame();  
}  
}  
\_root.about\_btn.onRollOver = function() {  
rewind = false;  
play();  
}  
\_root.about\_btn.onRollOut = function() {  
rewind = true;  
}[/INDENT]

This works fine. However, I want the button “about\_btn” to also control a second MC, but flip the rewind properties, like so:  
[INDENT]stop();  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (rewind == true) {  
prevFrame();  
}  
}  
\_root.about\_btn.onRollOver = function() {  
rewind = true;  
}  
\_root.about\_btn.onRollOut = function() {  
rewind = false;  
play();  
}[/INDENT]

but no such luck with the second MC. Even if I apply the same AS code to the second MC, it still won’t work. Thoughts?
