///…continued from stuck on sound 2

I combined my test button - whose sound works - along with the movie clip that doesn’t. I only attached the sound to one button in the menu (instance: “admin\_btn”, 4th down).

Oddly enough, if I attach the sound to the entire menu instance it works. Must be something to do with how I’m nesting the movie clips.

Is it possible that Flash reads my movie clip instance titled “admin \_btn” as a button even though its an \_mc?

Anyhow, props up to anyone that can figure this one out

if you delete the animation inside the \_root.menu, frame 1 till 18, and put everythin on frame 1, it works fine… so you have to somehow script the animation.

Your right it works. Question is why?

The instance name is the same. So is the behavior.  
The only thing that’s changed is the number of frames.  
So if my “menu” movie is frame-animated, I cant target it with a sound… but if its stationary, (or at least on one frame)… I can??

Does that make sense?
