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.</font></div>
