on (release) { _root.gotoAndStop("pagename");
the _root.goto...

Subject: Why won't my menu buttons work?
I'm a total beginner at actionscript, but I've learnt some very, very basic things for my university course. I now have an assignment to hand in where I need to make a drop-down menu to link to other pages. My tutor helped me with the script for this (I don't understand it), and I've got a movie clip for each button which brings up a sub-menu containing more buttons.
Now, my problem is that the buttons in the sub-menu don't work. On each button, I've written this:
on(release){gotoAndStop('pagename');}
...which is exactly what I put for the non-submenu buttons. The non sub-menu buttons work perfectly well, but the sub-menu buttons won't. What's going on?
If it helps, this is the script for the movie clip. I don't understand it, though:
onClipEvent(mouseMove) {
if (this._currentframe == 2){
this.hi
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse,true)){
if(this._currentframe == 1){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}else{
if(this._currentframe == 2){
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
}
I'd appreciate some help with this. It's too late to figure it out before I hand in my assignment (which is due in a matter of mere hours), but I'd still like to know for the future.

ghotarama Sep 3, 2009 1:10 PM (in response to andreasfridholm)Thanks, it worked! I also just found another answer on an older post by someone else who had the same problem. It turns out the answer is to put _parent. in front of the gotoAndStop. But they both work!
Thanks so much - now I can fix up my assignment just in time!
