Hi All

Need urgent help! Thx very much in advance.

Issue/Q.: Is there a way to reset a Child MC so that it loads as it was the first time?

I have a MC (Main) which has various buttons(of movieclip type). Each of these buttons will load a Child MC using addChild(). The Child MC contains various slides which i flip thru using its own buttons (movieclip type).Working fine when loading and unloading these Child Mc’s in the Main MC using addChild and removeChild.

PROBLEM SCENARIO:

Clicked button 1 on Main MC to load child 1 using addchild.  
Flipped thru the slides on this child1.  
clicked on button 2 on the Main MC- loads child 2 (working fine)

**But if i go back and click button1 to re-load the child1, child1 loads fine but displays the last slide that i viewed in it. This is happening bcos the AS in the Child MC is doing its job by displaying the slides.**

**But, is there any way to reset the child MC. I thought that when i am unloading the Child MC and then reloading it, it would start afresh! Pls pls advise…**

Thanks again for any of ur advice/help. really appreciate any insight into this issue…
