Hello,

I currently have a mc, lets call it button1, that has the following actionscript on it:

```php

on (release) {
    _root.attachMovie("cAbout", "cAbout", 1, {_x: 3, _y: 4});
}

```

When this mc loads it also unloads the mc, button1. When closing the mc I loaded, the original mc, button1, loads back with the following actionscript:

```php

attachMovie("button1", "button1", {_x:100, _y:100});

```

This is fine but the actionscript to load the mc cAbout is no longer there. What I tried was to put the first actionscript to load cAbout within the mc instead of on it so I won’t have this problem but it won’t load.

Is there a way I can get around this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
