I’ve done something by accident, and now the first slide is kind of acting like a parent slide of all the rest. However, it isn’t. This is really pissing me off. Thanks in advance.

If you don’t have pro, you wouldn’t know. My first slide is acting as a parent slide, though it is not set as one in the left thingy. This is a bug or something, I need fixing.

It just seems like a bug. One minute, I insert a picture, and now, when I export the movie, I have my parent slide showing, slide 1 showing, and slide 2 showing.When I click a link to slide 3, it is parent, 1, & 3, etc. It’s a bug, and I really need help. Thanks for the help so far. By the way, The Z-order is (from bottom to top) parent, 1, other (2,3,4,5,6).

It’s way too big for this (try 12 mb). Even the swf is big (595 kb). Sorry.

I think we need a bit of translation…by slide do you mean frame(ie in the timeline), a layer, or a movieclip? I could try to help you out if you were able to send the fla to my email shawn[at]veuphoria[dot]com  
However, I’m afraid no one will be able to help unless you can explain in more detail what the problem is.

Okay. I sent the fla. By slide, I mean all the contents (all the MC’s, vectors, masks, layers, etc.) of that slide. There must be something extremely simple that I am forgetting to tell you.

By the first slide do you mean the one that is called “presentation” by default?

</div>

No, I mean the child slide… the one after that. However, it is acting as yet another parent slide of the rest of the slides: it acts like this  
presentation  
slide1  
slide2  
slide3  
slide4  
slide5  
slide6  
But slide 1 is not a parent slide in the settings. What’s wrong

Sorry it took so long for me to reply I hadn’t even realized you could make slide presentations in flash, has always been one of those things I just overlooked, since I mainly work on websites. So I taught myself a bit and I found your problem.

Click on slide one goto properties, and fill the “class name” block with this:  
mx.screens.Slide

Fixed it on my end meaning it [U]should[/U] work for you

Good Luck,  
Shawn

Or just don’t EVER use slides (at least not until they’re updated in a newer version of Flash) :
