I've been away from LM2 for awhile and have become exremely rusty.
Here is my situation. I have a button in a line of buttons on the left side of the comp. I want to depress the button then animate the other buttons down the colum to reveal a sub menu. Animation works fine. Placed a stop behavior on the MCG. On the down state of the button I placed a behavior that tells the MCG to play. Seems easy but can't manage to get it.
I think it is in the scripting. Or lack there of.
down state script = this.play<"MCG">
Here is basically what I'm doing.
links look like this

link1
link2
link3
link4

click link 2 and it is supposed to look like this

link1
link2
  sublink
  sublink
  sublink
link3
link4
again animation is done. just can't get the down state of button to trigger it.

Any help is greatly appreciated
