To follow the tutorial correctly you must download the partial source in the beginning of the tutorial. It says this…

::Download Zip File

It is right before the first screenshot that shows the navigation links.

If you download that and use that file as you follow the tutorial you might be able to understand how to do it better.

Ok, I am going to try and explain this without downloading the file, since my computer is being a pain.

In the upper left hand corner of your movie there should be a tiny white circle. What Kirupa wants you to do is right click on that little circle and hit “Properties”. This will open up the “Properties” window and in that window there is a text box that is set at the default “instance name” (or something like that), you should replace that text with the text “contents” (without quotes).

I wish you luck. If there are any more problems just reply and I will see if I can help. I have to go now though, so I will check back later, unless someone else handles this while I am gone.

I would prefer if you posted it on the board and if no one helps then you can PM me. I get many PMs a day and I would prefer to keep that limit down so my inbox doesn’t reach its maximum limit.

plus… PM conversations mean that lostinbeta is spending his time helping ONLY you. Please be kind and remember that we are all busy and doing this not just for you, but for everyone who visits [kirupaforum.com](http://kirupaforum.com). If a conversation is posted in a thread, everyone can benefit… if it’s PM’ed then only you gain anything. That is not fair to everyone else.  
Glad to see beta could help you though… he’s a great teacher.
