My brain is fried I can’t take it anymore. The effect I am working on involves 4 pages that open revealing a page below. The pages also close revealing the previous pages. So there are 4 open MCs, 4 close MCs, buttons that call the opens and closes and masks that reveal what is on the pages. My opens are working fine, my closes are doing crazy \*\*\*\* and I have no idea why. The effect should look like this promo for Sin City [[color=#22229c]http://www.pointroll.com/showcase/sample.asp?ad=562[/color]](http://www.pointroll.com/showcase/sample.asp?ad=562) My SWF: (I have text identifying some of the components like open mc since the page graphics look the same) [[color=#22229c]http://kids-voting.org/fla/[/color]](http://kids-voting.org/fla/) My FLA: [[color=#22229c]http://kids-voting.org/fla/verbargs9\_650x650.fla[/color]](http://kids-voting.org/fla/verbargs9_650x650.fla) Some background. I did not build the original FLA, it was given to me by PointRoll. The original was for MasterCard and even though it had 4 pages it only had 2 different pages movie clips, so it was calling the same pages twice. The original file had large page turning flaps that obscured most of the images on the pages below. I have modified the open and closing movie clips and the masks that reveal the pages so that the page graphics do not cover so much of the image. I did all this before I even started thinking about the actionscript that controls the opening and closing of the pages.
