Hi there!

I am a newbie in Flash. I found your site by an advice from a friend: “Go to [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com). You will find great information”. Great site, with a lot of relevant tips and information.

Well, I am here to request some help & tips to solve a problem.

I’m workin on a .fla file of a menu ([http://www.ultrashock.com/flas/Navigation\_\_\_Interface/](http://www.ultrashock.com/flas/Navigation___Interface/) - **3d spiral menu 02** ).

When I change the “option” movie, all animations disappears. I saw in action a order to duplicate the movie. Erasing that order noting will work. How can I put diferents subjects in each “option” button?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

count ++;  
this[“z” add count] = Math.cos((count_45) \* (math.PI/180)) \* 50;

this[“x” add count] = (count \* 40) - (VerticeNum/2 \* 40);

// -----------------------------------------
