I´m newbie here, so any help would be appreciated. My problem is that I don´t know which action to use to get my buttons and movie clips to work.  
I have five buttons and five movie clips, so when I click on a button it calls a specific movie clip, but when I click on the next button, next movie clip appears, but the previous movie clip stays on the scene…How can I make it disappear?

here is a buttons code

on (rollOver) {  
this.\_alpha=100;

}

on (rollOut) {  
this.\_alpha=100;

}

on (release) {  
tellTarget ("\_root.bart1") {  
gotoAndPlay(2);  
\_x=200;  
\_y=220;  
}  
}

onClipEvent (mouseMove) {

dist=Math.sqrt(Math.pow(Math.abs(\_xmouse),2)+Math.pow(Math.abs(\_ymouse), 2));

if (dist\<=\_root.menutriggerdist) {  
currscale=(1-(dist/(\_root.menumultiplier\*\_root.menutriggerdist)))\*(\_root.menumaxscale-100);  
this.\_xscale = currscale;  
this.\_yscale = currscale;

} else {  
this.\_xscale = 100;  
this.\_yscale = 100;  
}  
}

…and here is a movie clips code

onClipEvent (load) {  
\_xscale = 100;  
\_yscale = 100;  
}

In the first frame of the movie clips i´ve put stop(); action, and in the second frame play();
