This is not the case... but one thing I noticed is this... it has to do with the "this".... I added a simple trace function of "this" that is called on the button press.. and i got this:
_level0.menu_mc.l1_mc.news_btn So I guess the this is refering to the button. Now it I target it with the _root - then it works... however I want to use a relative path as I read using _root is not desired. Due to if you use _root in your code, you can encounter errors if you load the SWF file into another Flash document. So - this is all coming down to a targeting issue. So I figured hey, I can use _parent.... this seems to not be hte case as I get this on hte result of the trace (from the button click): _level0 So in what I "thought" _parent would be (IE _level0.menu_mc) if called from the button - I am now ending up more confused than ever about "this" and "_parent". I always thought "this" was the current timeline - however I see it is not that. And I thought "_parent" was just up one level. So I need to find a nice clear definition of how they work.
