i was wondering if someone could answer a question for me.

if i have a button leading to a movie clip and i click on it and inside that movie clip i also have 4 other buttons, how can i make the main button return to the first page in the movie clip?

for example i have a button called services and that leads to a clip containing other buttons called products, terms of service, project process and service garantee… i click the terms of service button and then click on the main button services – how can i get it to go back to that page?

thanks

Back to which page? Back to the page with one button?

Viru.

\*\*\*\* – i knew it didnt explain it clear enough — sorry

what i am trying to say is if you go to the “services” page and then click “products” once you are on the products page and then click serivces again – it doesnt go back the the “services” page.

is that better explained

If you are using scenes, go to the products scene and edit the services button code.

[pro image resumes](http://proimageresume.o-f.com)

when you come to the main buttons in the site (such as “services offered” click on one of them and then click the “services offered again”)

what i am wanting to know is how can make the “services offered” button return to the first page in the services offered section

Ahhh… now I see what you’re trying to do. My guess is, you should use some kind of  
[AS]\_root();[/AS]  
function, but give me some time to analyze it. :thumb:

Well, we would really have to see the FLA to be sure what’s wrong. Can you upload it to your server for download ?

Yeah, we kinda need the fla. The .swf file will only play the movie. We can’t open a swf with Flash.

I personally prefer using Scenes. Once you get the hang of them, scenes can be a beautiful thing! :thumb:
