I am redoing quite a few buttons into mc’s to be able to get rid of the cursor changing into a handcursor. The buttons all have a sound on them onRollover. When I put the script on the mc’s instead, the sound doesn’t play.  
Here 's the code on the mc (on a separate layer)that holds all the buttons:  
[AS]this.createEmptyMovieClip(“butempty”, 1);  
myButmusic = new Sound(“butempty”);[/AS]  
and the code on the button/mc:  
[AS]onClipEvent (load) {  
this.useHandCursor=false;  
}  
on (rollOver) {  
setProperty(this, \_alpha, 0);  
myButmusic.attachSound(“but2”);  
myButmusic.setVolume(50);  
myButmusic.start(0.1);  
}  
on (rollOut) {  
setProperty(this, \_alpha, 100);  
}[/AS]  
I have changed the code to refer to “myButmusic” to abslolute (\_root.themenu.myButmusic.etc) I have tried the above code, I have tried parent, but nothing changes. the usehandcursor thing and the set Property work without problems.  
What am I doing wrong?:trout:
