Simple question

AS 3.0 can go to heck for all I care at this point.

I am trying to call a function defined in frame 1 of the root from inside a movieclip on the stage.

_parent.functionName(); does not work
_root.functionName(); does not work

also I need some direction on where to get a good AS2.0 to 3.0 primer. I have 2 books, One is trying to teach me the basics on how to draw, the other how to build advanced classes.

Neither of which I’m having issues with. But the simple day to day commands in AS like loading clips, and calling functions is a struggle.

It took me 2 days to find information on how to do myButton_btn.onPress in AS 3.0

please help. n
