movie clip as button, AS problem

[Visions of them]

hi I'm having a problem scripting a movie clip as a button here's the code

yellowbtn_mc.onPress = function() {
yellowbtn_mc.onPress.gotoAndStop(3);
};

I have this in a keyframe above the mc buttons
it says there's no errors in the code but it's not working, and sugestions

Cheers

this is correct code :

code:

---

yellowbtn_mc.onPress = function() {

this.gotoAndStop(3);

};

---

or :

code:

---

yellowbtn_mc.onPress = function() {

yellowbtn_mc.gotoAndStop(3);

};

---

alas that does not work, this is very confusing

[felicks]

why not simply put this code on the button:

on (release) {
gotoAndStop(3);
}

impossible ...
probably you forgot to give to that mc instance ... instance name : "yellowbtn_mc"

it's o.k I found removing yelowbtn_mc and just having Goto and stop did the trick thanks for your help

felicks I'm using mc's as buttons so I can add effects to them, ineed them to zoom, as they are artwork samples, and it's when people click on them will hopefully load up the artwork..thats the next fun bit..I have to say i hate coding, too many pitfalls I'm a designer at hart, and trying not to let the code dictate my design

Thanks for all your help
