Button Layering with on Over and Out

[Spidy6123]

Hey guys,

Is there a way to call for button actions a few layers up?
Allow me to explain:

Here is how my scene layout is composed

root.layer1.layer2.button
now I want on(rollOver) to do an animation at root.layer1 for layer order reasons.

Something like this:

on(rollOver){
	_root.ani.gotoAndPlay("Over");
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
    _root.ani.gotoAndPlay("Out");
}

Now obviously this is wrong, I don't know the proper method of doing this..

TIA any help is appreciated.

If your animation is in a MovieClip called "ani" then your code will work no matter which layer your button/MovieClip resides.
