[LEFT][SIZE=1][COLOR=#808080]Hello:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/LEFT]

[LEFT][SIZE=1][COLOR=#808080]I have a blank container mc into which I am loading JPGs after you click on a button. [/COLOR][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=1][COLOR=#808080]There are 10 buttons in the movie, each associated with a different JPG.[/COLOR][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=1][COLOR=#808080]This container\_mc is part of a function called on the main Timeline.[/COLOR][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=1][COLOR=#808080]The Flash movie is 1 frame on the main Timeline.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/LEFT]

[LEFT][SIZE=1][COLOR=#808080]This code works correctly on the first JPG when I click on a button for the first time), but then when you click on a different button I believe it just uses the dimensions and coordinates of the first JPG.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/LEFT]

[LEFT][SIZE=1][COLOR=#808080]How can I reset or refresh (unload, reload?) this function so it works correctly every time I load a new JPG?[/COLOR][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=1][COLOR=#808080]updateAfterEvent, maybe?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/LEFT]

[LEFT][SIZE=1][COLOR=#808080]thanks.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/LEFT]
