[font=Tahoma]Hi all,[/font]

[font=Tahoma]I am seeking help on pop up window action scripting. I am quite new to flash as well so I will probably use the wrong terminologies on explaining stuff, hope you guys can bare with it. Basically, I want my windows to pop-up right in the center of the screen in any resolution. I tried the tutorial that Kirupa has offered.([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered\_popup.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm)) That is exactly what I wanted and it works, but only if the buttons are in the main/root scene. [/font][font=Tahoma]What I have is buttons layed out in a movie clip and i tried applying the scripts in there, and that’s when things don’t work. Can anyone help me out on this please? :puzzle:[/font]
