Button in MC Problem

I have a button that is embedded in a MC ("point") that is embedded in another MC ("word") which is on the main Movie timeline. The button is supposed to tellTarget another MC ("Content") on the Main time line, but I'm not doing somethng right and it gives me this:

"Target not found: Target="Content" Base="_level0.word.point1

_root.content is the syntax you should be using to target the movieclip.

Hope that helps.
