Yes after applying previous advice, make sure your putting the code on a movie clip.

MovieClips in flash 8 require an onClipEvent Method to function. If you are using flash 8 then Afflict defeniatly has the right idea.

In flash 9, all code must go on the frame and complex instances are not strictly permitted for movieClips (no _root["name"+id]).
