ok here’s my problem. When i load a movie to my main page it doesnt work properly. It fits in perfectly and does everything what i want it too, except two things. 1) there is a hover cap section which doesnt work and a mouse follow thing. It all works when it’s by its self, but not when it’s in another movie.  
Hope you guys can help me out

r u loading your movie into target\_movieclip?  
then make sure you place the instance name of that clip on your btns in hover movie like…suppose your r loading your movie into clip which’s instance name is container.  
on (rollOver) {  
Mouse.hide();  
\_root.x = 1;  
\_root.container.caption…words = “Website designs ::”;  
}  
same with mouse follows.

Other wise just place those clips into your mainpage they would work also.

\_root things don’t work when you loadMovie. They then refer to the movie they are loaded into. I suggest u do the mouse follow and hupcap thing etc in the main movie(in which you are goung to loadMovie).

Add \_root.contents before hover = “caption name”  
It wont work independentely but will work when it will be loaded on main movie.  
\_root.contents.hover = “caption name”  
The above code has to be in your movie to be loaded.
