on (release) { _level0:mixing = "normal"; } That sets the variable on _level0, so theres no need for any/: stuuf on _level0:

if (mixing eq "normal") { tellTarget ("_level6") { setProperty ("/test/control", _x, "410"); } }

That's deprecated Flash 4 syntax though. In F5 you're encouraged to use dot syntax, which is a lot less verbose in this case:

on (release) { _level0.mixing = "normal"; }

if(mixing == "normal"){ _level6.test.control._x = 410; }
