i attach some buttons according to the tutorial from kirupa to a “menu\_mc” mc.  
everything goes well. the buttons do attach… the text inside them is visible!

i make a scroller (also from a tutorial from over here) that scrolls a “contentMain” mc.  
everything goes well… it scrolls.

when i put the menu\_mc inside the contentMain… the buttons do attach, the scroller works fine… but the text inside my buttons is not visible.

i attached here the .fla : [http://ceetah.evonet.ro/XmlLoadScroller.fla](http://ceetah.evonet.ro/XmlLoadScroller.fla)

1. can you tell me what’s the problem? why don’t the texts show?

2. how can I call the “scrolling()” function from inside that contentMain mc … without using \_root ?

thank you very much… i’m going insane in here.
