Strange, buttons wont work?

1

hi, for some reason my buttons dont work.
here is what i have.

i have a movieclip[1], and in that movieclip is another [2] with this on it.


on (rollOver) {
	this.gotoAndPlay("start2");
}
on (rollOut) {
	this.gotoAndPlay("end");
}

and on the main stage, where [1] is, i have this code for a duplicate of [1], [3] but on a different layer, and it’s acting as a button. i have this code on [3]


on(press){
	gotoAndPlay("home-out");
}

but for some reason it’s not working. the rollover actions work fine, but the button doesn’t.
also, if i move [3] layer above [1], the rollover actions dont work and neither does the button.

can anyone help?

thanks
