Yo Kirupa’s Users and Admins 😃

I got a bit of a problem here … Im new in flash but im trying 😃

Well the problem is that i have this button ! In my button i got a movieclip(instances name: mcselect) on the over(layer) ! I that movieclip i got some motiontweens who my button should react with the mouse is over(rollover) and out(rollout) !

Well back to scene on ! On scene one i got a actionscript on my button

Code:

[font=Arial][color=red]on (rollOver) {  
tellTarget("/mcselect") {  
gotoAndPlay(“start”);

gotoAndPlay(“slut”);  
}  
}[/color][/font]
