Hey All,

I’m using this complex rollover button on my site i found here --\>  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/button\_effect.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/button_effect.htm)

What i’m looking to do is have this effect trigered when a second button is rolled over as well. Is there a way to target this movie clip effect from the \_root timeline? I was able to achieve this halfway by using labels but I am not able to reverse the animation on roll out with this method.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
