Now on each button(9 of them)a different mc with be placed on the root timeline and I need the prievous mc that was loaded if there was one to be unloaded cause th bg is transparent. Well I just awnswered part of my question a mc cant be loaded that isnt on the timeline but what I need to do now is fighure how to change the position of the mc. on (release) { this.\_parent.gotoAndPlay(103); this.\_parent.chair\_mc.\_x = -49.1; } this.\_parent.gotoAndPlay(103); works but not when I try to call chair\_mc all I want to do is change the position of chair\_mc when you click on a button. This aint this hard I dont know why I cant figure it out please help
