    avoid using _root.

    why?

    because your 'child' movie's _root is now its 'parent's' _root.

    #note1: don't target your _root to load a movie. use a blank target [createEmptyMovieClip] to become the holder. otherwise it will erase everything on stage. including your button.

    #note2: don't write on(whatever) functions directly on buttons/mc's. that's deprecated. use an unique action layer to paste all your code.

    /*example of an mc targeting its root [when placed directly on the stage]:*/

    var target:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("targe... this.getNextHighestDepth());

    mc.onRelease = function() {
    this._parent.target.loadMovi e("id.swf");
    }
