Is it a BUG, or what...

Hi guys

Why is it that if I want to trigger a function on a MovieClip with an onMC event, it doesn't work, and if I call the same function on a button or in a Frame, it works fine?

I work with Flash 5 Format AS.

PLEASE HELP

cheers

Make sure you've updated the path to the function, let's say you have 2 clips one name clipa and 1 clipb both on the main timeline. if you have a function in clipa you can't use

clipa.functionName();
from clipb to call the function.
you'd have to use

_root.clipa.functionName();

That did it!

Thanks a bunch, Catbert.
