You have a path problem, skip all the \_root/level0  
For the next button

```auto
on (release) {
	this.current_clip++;
	screen.loadMovie("clip"+(this.current_clip)+".swf");
}

```

And for the thumbnail

```auto
on (release) {
	screen.loadMovie("clip4.swf");
	this.current_clip = 4;
}

```

Hope that helps:)

Thank you scotty! I believe this will help.

What about Loading the movies (different menus/thumbnail menus) via the navigation buttons (menu1 - menu2)?

LOL, I’ve got a lot suggestions, but without a fla (or more info) that wouldn’t make any sense:lol:  
So…

OK scotty. Here is the fla file. Referring to the main\_gallery. Notice that when you test the file- everything seems to load just fine. However when you try to scroll the bottom menu - it does not move. And the same thing happens when you click on menu two it seems to load fine though the buttons do not work. How do I resolve this?

Also, another thing I noticed is the when I click on the menu 2 button and then try to click the next button (the green arrow button top right) it goes to the second photo of the first menu. Is there a way to change the action of those top buttons when someone clicks on the menu 2 button?
