Button with Movieclips dosn't work - frustrated

[JohnnyxL]

Hello All. Any help appreciated.

I have a button and in each of the states for the up,over, and down I dropped a movie clip into their respective keyframes.

The rollover effects work when I publish but I can't get any events to work like onpress, onrelease.

For example the button is named openbookbtn <openbtn>
up has clip openbook_static <o_static>
over has clip openbook_motion <o_motion>
down has clip openbook_static <o_static>

in other words their is an animated rollover, can I even do it this way?

If not could someone point me to some good example code of animated movie clips used as buttons?

Thanks in advance- Johnny~xL^

You can put MovieClips in Button states, that's not an issue. May be your script is funky. The basic code for Button is like this:

// AS2 main timeline
openbookbtn.onPress = function():Void  {
	trace("onPress: "+this);
};

Output
onPress: _level0.openbookbtn

Adobe.com has lots of support in their knowledgebase under the flash section. There are examples of codes, macromedia extensions you can download and lots more.
