I created a few function and am trying to call them whit the on(release) handler of a button inside a movieClip.

Here is the function code on the main scene, first frame:

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Blue]  
function resetPlatform(){  
trace(“resetPlatform has been called”);  
alreadyUsed=[];  
usedLetters="";  
UserInput.type=“input”;  
myMovieClip1.gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
[/Size][/Color]

I placed myMovieClip1 from the library using attachMovie, and inside this movie clip i placed a button with the following code attached to it:  
[SIZE=1][COLOR=Blue]  
on(release){  
resetPlatform();  
}  
[/SIZE][/COLOR]  
The fucntion is never called properly i think its a level problem and the way am calling it that is wrong.

I need help guys!

Thanks
