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.
