Hi Im really Stuck,

I have this movie [http://urbanjackal.members.easyspace.com/visionco/](http://urbanjackal.members.easyspace.com/visionco/) its for a mates building company

ok here is my problem (i will explain it to the best of my abilites)

i have 3 buttons which each load 1 seperate SWF into an empty movie clip  
eg. **servicesbutton** loads **services.swf** into **contentsMC**

that is fine that is working fine my problem occurs when the loaded movie button is clicked on again… it resets the loaded SWF back to frame 1…

how can i make the loadmove command abit more cleverer? like dont load the movie if its already loaded?
