I have problem with one of my flash files, I have a set of buttons at the top, when the user rolls over these buttons, i want a movie to be played, and when the user rolls off i want the movie to dissappear.

Now I have done everything that i know but it just refuses to work.

Here is the file, i have done everything in a movie called menu, in there is the movie that i want displaying on rollover, and i also have the buttons there too, if anyone would like to dl the flash file and help me out i would be really greatful cos i don’t know what else to try.

I don’t know why it is refusing to attach my file but, if something thinks they can help, please reply to this , and I will email you the fla.

Thanks

well is the movie external or internal? if internal you should be able to just use gotoAndPlay.
