Very very odd…I’ve added a SWF inside a PowerPoint file and one of the buttons which is supposed to take the timeline to “someframe” instead calls the MovieClip, but \*\*only \*\*in PowerPoint and not in Flash.

The MC is using this code:

```auto
onClipEvent (load) {
        new_x = 270;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
        this._x -= (_x-new_x)*0.5;
}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
        new_x = 900;
        
}

```

Button has a standard:

```auto

on (release) {
    gotoAndPlay("someFrame");
}

```

I have tried \_parent. and \_root. on the button but it still doesn’t work…

Why is the button calling the MC in PowerPoint but not Flash?

I’d very much like to know the answer to this one as well! I’ve managed to embed the file but not got the whole thing to work…
