Hello Y’all,  
I am building a brand new website for my band. I use a sliding menu I d/l from [flashkit.com](http://flashkit.com) go goes from left to right.  
With the html frames file I have a top frame for the menu and a bottom for the main.  
My question if this:

For my button which returns the menu back to the default state I would like it to also return the main frame to the default state also which is a htlp file with the band pic  
My code for the button looks like this:

on (release) {  
play();  
tellTarget ("/controller") {  
gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
}

I guess what I am saying is I would like the button to do 2 things,

1. Return to the start of the movie (menu)

2. Display the appropriate htlp in the main frame.

Could anyone tell me hot to acomplish this and where I should  
add the code to the button?

I think this website is really great and a wonderful resource to the great world of flash.

Thanks

Steve

on(release) {  
getURL (“bandpic.html” , “main\_frame”);  
controller.gotoAndStop(1);  
}

I think this is what you want, though I don’t know what the play; action was in there for. Change the stuff in getURL to your page and frame names, and note that tell target is being phased out.

Thanks for the reply.  
This is for a flash file I downloaded called cool menu.  
It is a vertical sliding menu.  
The play function is on all of the buttons.  
I have attached the file to this reply,  
I am not sure if I remove the play action if it will still work

Thanks

Steve
