Hello,

Could anyone point me to a source file dealing with the customization of a product like clothing—where the user selects options step by step. Like size, color, etc. Clothing is the most popular. I’m working on a stationer application where the user chooses envelope size, then paper color, then liner color, font, font color, etc.

I started building using swap depths, where the selections are all on lower layers and the user makes a selection bringing their option the the fore. Of course now I’m in a bind because by the time the user gets to the last step…the .swf slows to a snails pace on any computer due to all the unloaded background objects. Should’ve saw it coming.

I’ve tried using attachMovie for the last step but the swap depth from a previous has the level covered even if it’s attached to a higher level.

Any help would be appreciated.
