Hi everyone,  
im new to flash and actionscript v2.  
would be great if i could get a shove in the right direction.

im trying to get a button working that is inside a movie clip.  
the movieclip is given a linkage identifier (container\_id and name as container\_mc) as it is inside the library and not on the stage.  
The movie clip has three buttons inside it.  
I have the following code on each of the button

```auto

_root.containerBase_mc.scrollUp_btn.onRelease = function() {
 trace("scrol upn");
};
this.containerBase_mc.scrollDown_btn.onRelease = function() {
   trace("scrol down");
  
};
this._parent.containerBase_mc.close_btn.onRelease = function():Void{
 trace("close me");
}

```

as you can see my desperate attempts to get this working  
none of the trace actions work…  
any help?  
thank you.
