Hi all  
This is not a problem… I just want to share this in case someone can provide an explaination as I am baffled.

See attached file

Basically, simple AS3 button script… 2 buttons and the script all works fine.  
However if you change the mc instance name to ‘artists\_mc’ and also in the script then the artists\_mc does not work!!

I cannot understand this!!  
any offers of explaination?  
cheers
