Someone else is going to pick this ball up.
I'm on shaky ground at this point.

Ouch!  I mistakenly used a button and not an mc in the sample I made.  That does indeed work on a button, but what should I put on an mc?  I could change all my mc's over to buttons but that doesn't help because none of the scoring mechanism as I have it works either on buttons or mc's.  I also don't manage to delete the on (release) function, either in or out of Xerte, so I decided to disappear the clip once question was answered and activate another mc.  But I can't get this to work on buttons or mc's in Xerte.

Could you possibly tell me how you would change the following to work in Xerte on an mc which is inside an mc on the main timeline:

on (press) {	_root.hit();  //registers positive score	_root.updateScore(); //calculates score
	_root.scoreText(); //displays score 	_root.three_drop._y=500; /"disappears" the parent dropdown mc on completion 
	_root.smiley_3.gotoAndStop(2);  //brings up a smiley picture 	}

Thanks so much and sorry to be so complicated.

Trying to simplify my problem:

SWF works as desired outside of Xerte.

Xerte ignores on (press) commands attached to mc's two levels down - e.g. 

_root.scoreText();_root.smiley_5.gotoAndStop(2);

Adding this._lockroot = true; causes Xerte to take notice of the on (press) commands but messes up the dropdown menu (menu drops down when mouse is over a different part of stage).

I attach a rlo with fla's saved in Flash 8 which illustrates both of above.

Thanks very much for any help - this is driving me mad!
