Hi there,  
I have finished all the design work of my site and have all the relevant pages (.swf files) with their buttons etc. I now need to link them all together. I did the [www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full\_site.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full_site.htm) tutorial which was HUGELY helpful, the problem I have though is my ‘home page’ is not a template for the other pages, they are each totally different in lay out apart from a home button on each sub page (ie you always have to return to the home page to get to a different page in the site). So when I put  
on (release) {  
\_root.contents.loadMovie("-\*sub page-.\*swf");  
}

onto a button on the home page… and publish it… it opens on top of the home page and you can see bits sticking through. What is the script to open a whole new .swf file and remove the home page?

Also the buttons for navigation on the home page are not part of a movie clip… do they need to be? Although I made an ‘actions’ layer and inserted a movie clip (instance name ‘contents’) as described in the full\_site tutorial.

Any help is MUCH appreciated
