i am trying to figure out the [lennykravits.com](http://lennykravits.com) navigation system and i’m running into a few problems

I downloaded the .fla from flashkit and everything works fine

[link](http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Interfaces/Navigation/Lenny_Na-James_Mu-7650/index.php)

when i want to load a section i’ve placed this code on the buttons

on (release) {  
\_root.Tpointer = 1;  
if (\_root.Picture.\_xscale=100){  
loadMovieNum(“1.swf”, 3);  
}  
gotoAndPlay(4);  
}

however, the 1.swf replaces the current movie and my navigation is lost.

if i try this, the swf doesn’t load.

on (release) {  
\_root.Tpointer = 1;  
if (\_root.Picture.\_xscale=100){  
createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);  
loadMovie(“1.swf”, “container”);  
container.\_x = 0;  
container.\_y = 0;  
}  
gotoAndPlay(4);  
}

what am i doing wrong? i’m more of a designer than a programmer so any help would be greatly apreciated.

maybe  
[AS]  
on (release) {  
\_root.Tpointer = 1;  
if (\_root.Picture.\_xscale==100){ // double =  
container = \_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);  
container.loadMovie(“1.swf”);  
container.\_x = 0;  
container.\_y = 0;  
}  
gotoAndPlay(4);  
}

[/AS]

thanks! it seems to work now

I have one question though, is it possible to load the movie inside the container which is one layer back?

i would like my navigational buttons to always be in front, and the movies to load in behind.

now when i load the movie it is always on the top layer

would it be  
container = \_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, -1);

or something simular?
