hey there all,  
I have a movie clip that has a few layers and a button on one of the layers. on the button I have this code:  
on(rollOver){  
gotoAndPlay(“over”);  
}  
on(rollOut){  
gotoAndPlay(“out”);  
}

Now, this mc is on the Main timeline and has an istance name “home\_btn”. I have a sliding menu type navagation going on and have some code for the “home\_btn” on the main timeline:  
home\_btn.onRelease = function(){  
menuSlide(contentHold.content1);  
}

WHen I try to use the code on the maintime line and the code on the button inside the mc–it ofcourse doesn’t work.  
How can I reference the rollover/out actions on the inside of the mc from the main timeline?  
Or, is there an easy away around this?

thanks,  
h
