complete beginner question  
Any tips would be wonderful…  
Am creating a flash site, with menu, and sub menu that appears on roll-over… the sub menu is an mc (with buttons inside) which does not exist on the main timeline, is called there by attachMovie…  
how can i make those buttons in the attached movie call up an .swf (containing content for the site)??  
honestly grateful for the smallest response,
