Hi there,

Does anyone have any idea how to link the following on release code used when clicking a menu item such that it will open the required mc?

```auto

stop();
// Include MC Tween
#include "mc_tween2.as"

// Global Variables
var whoIsOn:Number = 0 //Keeps track of what page we are currently on. Each page has a numerical variable corresponding to it.
var whatIsNext:Number = 0 //Keeps track of what page you are going to load after the current pages animates out
var blankScreen:Boolean = true; //Keeps track of if a page is even loaded. If none is loaded, you don't need an outro animation.

#include "lmc_tween.as"
//
