I define a function and try and run it but it won’t run, if i take the code out of the function it runs fine and I can’t work out why, here is the function and the call…

function Boomclat() { 
        var TweenX:Tween = new Tween(this, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, this._x, 16.9, 1, true);
        var TweenY:Tween = new Tween(this, "_y", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, this._y, listY, 1, true);
        }
        Boomclat();

Here is my whole code (on this MC, there is more outside):

    onClipEvent (load) {
    import mx.transitions.Tween;
    import mx.transitions.easing.*;
    startX = this._x;
    startY = this._y;
    mn = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    this.onRollOver = function() {
        this.gotoAndStop("over");
    };
    this.onRollOut = function() {
        this.gotoAndStop("up");
    };
    this.onPress = function() {
        this.gotoAndStop("down");
    };
    this.onReleaseOutside = function() {
        this.gotoAndStop("up");
    };
    this.onRelease = function() {
        this.gotoAndStop("up");
        this.enabled = false;
        this.arrow.gotoAndStop("ordered");
        if (_global.hasAnswered != 1) {
            this.arrow.listNumber = this._parent.Order.length+1;
            listY = 35+(74.9*this._parent.Order.length);
            this._parent.Order.push(this);
            function Boomclat() { 
            var TweenX:Tween = new Tween(this, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, this._x, 16.9, 1, true);
            var TweenY:Tween = new Tween(this, "_y", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, this._y, listY, 1, true);
            };
            Boomclat();
            this._parent.buttonHolder.previousOrder.push(this);
        } else {
            for (i=0; i<this._parent.trueOrder.length; i++) {
                if (this == this._parent.trueOrder[i]) {
                    _global.previousButton.enabled = true;
                    _global.previousButton.gotoAndStop("up");
                    myColor = new Color(_global.previousButton);
                    myColor.setTint(255,255,255,0);
                    myColor = new Color(this);
                    myColor.setTint(113,205,0,23);
                    this.gotoAndStop("down");
                    var TweenX:Tween = new Tween(_global.lastText, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Back.easeOut, 276.4, -210, 0.7, true);
                    _global.whichText = this._parent.textFile[i];
                    var TweenX:Tween = new Tween(_global.whichText, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Back.easeOut, 760, 276.4, 0.7, true);
                    _global.lastText = whichText;
                    _global.previousButton = this;
                }
            }
        }
    };

}

Anyone can see what’s wrong? Cheers.

    Strangely enough if I define the function before the onRelease it works… here is final code:

    onClipEvent (load) {
    import mx.transitions.Tween;
    import mx.transitions.easing.*;

    function orderTween() {
        var TweenX:Tween = new Tween(this, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, this._x, 16.9, 1, true);
        var TweenY:Tween = new Tween(this, "_y", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, this._y, listY, 1, true);
    }
    startX = this._x;
    startY = this._y;
    this.onRollOver = function() {
        this.gotoAndStop("over");
    };
    this.onRollOut = function() {
        this.gotoAndStop("up");
    };
    this.onPress = function() {
        this.gotoAndStop("down");
    };
    this.onReleaseOutside = function() {
        this.gotoAndStop("up");
    };
    this.onRelease = function() {
        this.gotoAndStop("up");
        this.enabled = false;
        this.arrow.gotoAndStop("ordered");
        if (_global.hasAnswered != 1) {
            this.arrow.listNumber = this._parent.Order.length+1;
            listY = 35+(74.9*this._parent.Order.length);
            this._parent.Order.push(this);
            orderTween();
            this._parent.buttonHolder.previousOrder.push(this);
        } else {
            for (i=0; i<this._parent.trueOrder.length; i++) {
                if (this == this._parent.trueOrder[i]) {
                    _global.previousButton.enabled = true;
                    _global.previousButton.gotoAndStop("up");
                    myColor = new Color(_global.previousButton);
                    myColor.setTint(255,255,255,0);
                    myColor = new Color(this);
                    myColor.setTint(113,205,0,23);
                    this.gotoAndStop("down");
                    var TweenX:Tween = new Tween(_global.lastText, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Back.easeOut, 276.4, -210, 0.7, true);
                    _global.whichText = this._parent.textFile[i];
                    var TweenX:Tween = new Tween(_global.whichText, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Back.easeOut, 760, 276.4, 0.7, true);
                    _global.lastText = whichText;
                    _global.previousButton = this;
                }
            }
        }
    };
