    you're trying to add a button event function from a _parent movieclip.

    1of2 things:

    #1 if you're attaching an mc, methods, properties and instances are not immediatelly accessible [a small interval delay, ie. 100ms, may be necessary].

    #2 if the instance doesn't exist immediatelly in the child's timeline you can't, obviously, target it.

    personally I prefer to add button events in the same timeline where the mc/button resides.
