hi  
i’m still a beginner in flash and i just want to ask the right way to do this action.

- i have 3 separate movie clips (a,b,c)
- my main movie is (a) and when i click a button there, it will go to external movie (b)
- under external movie (b) there’s a movie clip that includes my animation and content button
- if i click on the content button on movie (b), external movie © will pop up [it will not replace movie (b) but will just overlap it, it’s like a small pop up]

i did the actionscript and when i’m testing external movie (b), it’s working… it’s showing/popping up movie ©

but when i tried it on the main movie (a), the movie © is not popping on the (b)

err, sorry if it’s a bit confusing / how i explained it. but hopefully somebody will get the idea.

and it won’t also return on the main movie (a) when i click on a link from the external movie. ![](http://www.gotoandplay.it/_forums/images/smiles/icon_sad.gif)  
hope someone here can help me… or it’s my actionscript i’ve done is not possible?

thank you ![](http://www.gotoandplay.it/_forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) :crazy:
