Hi everyone, been a while…

My issue right now is that I have a exit button on my shell clip that pops up asking a user if they want to quit or not. This works fine in ever other screen I have no issues. But when I goto a certain part of and clicks the exit it bugs out. The clip that gets loaded is a tetras like game i built. My question is…is there any way i can cause the moving parts when the user clicks the exit button. I am stuck and out of ideas…can someone help please 🙂
