Hello,  
I’m having a problem… I’m almost positive it’s a simple fix, but I am desperate and out of time. What I have is this, a Photo Gallery with buttons for different days (Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday). These buttons take you to it’s corresponding Frame Label (“thursday”, “friday”, “saturday”, “sunday”) which loads a script that calls up an XML file into the main window. This works fine, but now I need to create a drop down menu on the Thursday button. That’s done. What does not work are the buttons within the MC of the Drop Down Menu. I want these buttons within the Drop Down Menu movie clip to “go to and play” the Frame Label on the Main Timeline. I have this but it doesn’t work:

gotoAndStop(“thursday”);  
}[/COLOR]
