I built a bunch of thumbnail buttons that through LoadMovie were placed on the \_root stage into an empty movie clip. They worked perfect. I ran out of room on the stage so I built one of those infinite scrolling thumbnail bars. which is a movie clip with the buttons inside it. Now the buttons don’t do flop. I’ve tried everything.

I also havw bits of code everywhere when I really only want it on the main time line. How can I do this?

heres the code slider:

onClipEvent(load) {  
nScreenWidth = 1024;  
nMaxRate = 15;  
function moveLeft(nPixels) {  
this.\_x -= nPixels;  
if (this.\_x \< 0-nScreenWidth) {  
this.\_x = 0;  
}  
}  
function moveRight(nPixels) {  
this.\_x += nPixels;  
if (this.\_x \> 0) {  
this.\_x = 0-nScreenWidth;  
}  
}  
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {  
if (\_root.\_xmouse \< nScreenWidth/2 && \_root.\_xmouse \> 0) {  
moveRight(nMaxRate - \_root.\_xmouse \* nMaxRate/(nScreenWidth/2));  
} else {  
if (\_root.\_xmouse \> nScreenWidth/2 && \_root.\_xmouse \< nScreenWidth) {  
moveLeft(\_root.\_xmouse \* nMaxRate/(nScreenWidth/2) - nMaxRate);  
}  
}  
}

heres the buttton code:

stop()  
j-livethumb.onRelease = function() {  
empty.loadMovie( “j-live.swf” );  
};

where j-livethumb is the instance name for the button that has an over up and hit state.  
help.
