I have a series of swfs that make up a slideshow at the end they have quizes that use \_global.correct = Correct\_Answer; sort of commands, they all work perfectly.

I want to add a menu with buttons to call to these externals individually (slideshow too long for one sitting, want to break it up).

I made the menu with buttons and currently it throws the externals overtop of the menu, cant figure out how to hide background.

It also messes up the quiz questions, i believe its due to the \_global calling.

I could really use some ideas on a better way to go about this menu idea.

Thanks, any input would be greatly appreciated.
