Thats fixed. However, now I am loading it into another flash file and it stoped work any clues? Look at the files and you will see what i mean. THANKS ALOT! ---

That’s because it has \_root in all of the AS. \_root refers to the main timeline of the movie you’re loading it into. Therefore doesn’t work anymore. From the main timeline, double-click your “page” instance. Change all the “\_root” of your buttons to “\_parent”. Then double-click “transition” instance, and change all the “\_root” to “\_parent.\_parent”. This is double because it’s another level higher. If there were another level, it would become “\_parent.\_parent.\_parent”. Hope it helps. ---

HEY KOOL! its works. thanks alot. The pages come up and everything but now this doesn’t work: loadMovie(\_parent.\_parent.page.section, \_parent.\_parent.page.content); stop(); How do I make like a preloader that will say something like IF the selected page is loaded then play frame this? I want it in the transition symbol. I have looked over the code and I have no reason why it was opening up windows. I put stop actions on the frames so it conouldnt loop and i never put a action on loop. I opened it myself and nothing happened. Here is the updated files. Thanks Inflicted for helping out. I’m really bad with addressing. lol ---

```auto loadMovie("_parent._parent.page.section", _parent._parent.page.content); stop(); ``` How can you load a movie inside itself??? Just loose that line of code . good luck… ---

but then the movie wont load… as in the gallery, photots and portfolio pages wont load into pages.swf. What i’m trying to do is have a main page index.swf and load pages.swf and in pages.swf load the 3 pages gallery, photots and portfolio. mayeb you can fix up the files in the message 12-22-2003 08:51 AM in this thread.
