i am not sure what to call this, thats y i wasnt able to search for it in the forum.
anyway, i have attached my file. the contact button plays an MC which has a close button. i am not sure to make that button close this MC and return to the main MC which should displays the navigation buttons and the background.
anyone can advise ?

your code
```auto
on (release) {
navig.gotoAndStop(1);
}
```
didnt work because it wasnt an instance name but a movie name. If you name the instance of the menu ‘nav’ this should work (although kax’s method is simpler)
```auto
on (release) {
_root.nav.gotoAndStop(1);
}
```
