I have a series of 5 main buttons. The code below is for the home button and works fine.

There is also a rollover and rollout function attached to this which also works fine. (When you rollover any of the 5 main buttons the button being rolled over animates downward. When rolled out it animates back to its original position.)

btnHome\_mc.onRelease = function () {  
stick(“btnHome\_mc”);  
home2\_mc.attachMovie(“home\_mc”, “homePage”, this.getNextHighestDepth());  
porfolio\_mc.\_visible = false;  
mcLoader.unloadClip(harcup);  
mcLoader.unloadClip(galvette);  
mcLoader.unloadClip(wreck);  
mcLoader.unloadClip(trivia);  
mcLoader.unloadClip(jigsaw);  
gamesMenu\_mc.\_visible = false;  
mcLoader.unloadClip(contact);  
mcLoader.unloadClip(empty);  
}

What I would like to have happen, however, is that when the site first loads the home button is already in its open (rolled out) position, displaying the initial greeting.

I thought that this would work:

btnHome\_mc.onLoad = function () {  
stick(“btnHome\_mc”);  
home2\_mc.attachMovie(“home\_mc”, “homePage”, this.getNextHighestDepth());  
porfolio\_mc.\_visible = false;  
mcLoader.unloadClip(harcup);  
mcLoader.unloadClip(galvette);  
mcLoader.unloadClip(wreck);  
mcLoader.unloadClip(trivia);  
mcLoader.unloadClip(jigsaw);  
gamesMenu\_mc.\_visible = false;  
mcLoader.unloadClip(contact);  
mcLoader.unloadClip(empty);  
}

but it does not.

Any ideas/thoughts are appreciated.
