**This works when not in the fuction. But when I put in a button release function it does not work.**

**two\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“triangle\_mc”, 1);  
triangle\_mc.beginFill(0x0000FF, 90);  
triangle\_mc.lineStyle(5, 0x0000FF, 10);  
triangle\_mc.moveTo(200, 200);  
triangle\_mc.lineTo(300, 300);  
triangle\_mc.lineTo(100, 300);  
triangle\_mc.lineTo(200, 200);  
triangle\_mc.endFill();  
};**
