I used this tutorial, and It works ok. My problem is that my buttons are in a dropdown menu. I tried using the relitave path to the buttons, but no luck.

The path to my button is; \_root.weddings.santaFe

I put it here:  
\_root.weddings.santaFe.onRelease = function() {  
if (\_root.section != “santaFe.swf”) {  
\_root.section = “santaFe.swf”;  
\_root.transition.gotoAndPlay(“closing”);  
}  
};

And it didn’t work.

The only way that I could get the movie (santaFe.swf) to load was to have it load when \_root.weddings was pushed.

am I missing something with the path?
