Hi there,

I built a website for our company, but because my boss kept adding stuff as I was building, the navigation-function became a total mess. On top of that, the need has risen to make the site multi-lingual, and I would like to get the back-button and deep-linking to work properly.

So, I decided to rewrite the navigation-function using the [exanimo stateManager](http://exanimo.com/actionscript/statemanager/). The site structure basically has two levels: Six main sections (L1), most of which have subsections (L2). All these “pages” are library items that get attached to a holder MC (L0). So for instance, the first page is built by attaching “home\_NL” to L0 and calling it L1, and then attaching “home\_welkom\_NL” to L1 and calling it L2.

This all works fine, until I’ve clicked “Voices”. If I click a section after that, the L0 gets faded out, but L1 is not removed. And since the function then tries to attach a new library item as L1 and will not continue until it is loaded, navigation simply hangs.

Unfortunately “luister\_NL”, which is loaded when you click “Voices”, is a fairly complex movie clip (by my standards, at least). It allows the visitor to listen to samples of our voice-talents based on language, style and gender. These can also be selected and “ordered” through a form.  
Something in this movie clip is preventing Flash from removing it from the stage, but I can’t figure out what.

I’ve [uploaded](http://www.eurovoice.nl/help/eurovoice.zip) the fla so you can check it out if you want.

Any suggestions on what could be causing this behaviour would be very welcome.  
Thanks in advance!

Yours,  
Andra
