What the...? Simple actionscript stopped working!

Hi guys,

Very odd, I’ve used this very simple technique many times, but for some reason it isn’t working! I’ve got a button which inside is simply a static text field, instance name “news_btn”, and another button which is also a static text field, instance name “mailing_btn”. All I want to happen is when you click “mailing_btn”, “news_btn” disappears. I’ve tried everything; putting _alpha or _visible actionscript on the timeline, on “mailing_btn”, using _root, not using _root…

I’m tearing my hair out, because I’ve done it so many times before, effortlessly!! Can anyone think of a reason it’s not working?? Any suggestions gratefully received!
