[RESOLVED] [F8] Button inside MC problem (So new! So clueless!)

[Horuni]

Hey! This is probably a really simple problem.

I have a button inside a movieclip that needs to control something outside the movie clip and I have no clue how to make it work..

This is what I've got...

btn_red.onRelease = function (){
setProperty("red", _visible, true);
}

"btn_red" is inside an MC called "all" and both "all" and "red" are in the main stage area.

I have no clue what I need to add to fix this. Please help!

where red is the instance name of the movieclip try -

btn_red.onRelease = function (){
_root.red._visible = true;
}

[wattsup]

try something like this

// code on the main time line
all.btn_red.onRelease = function(){
    this._visible = true;
}
