hey… im new at this forum…
i saw this tutorial
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm)
i tried it but i have some problems…
i’ve put this action in a frame:
\_root.currMovie = “index"container.loadMovie(\_root.currMovie+”.swf"); so it starts to play the index.swfbut… when i test the movie… the index.swf plays… but my menu dissapears…its under the index.swf… and the same if i dont have the \_root.currMovie = “index” container.loadMovie(\_root.currMovie+".swf"); and i press the about button… the about.swf plays… but the menu is falling behind it
can someone please look at it??

It’s because the movieclip you load the external swfs in is on the same layer as your buttons. Simply move your buttons to a new layer above the one with the movieclip in it and all will be fixed. By the way, only main.fla can have navigation buttons. I saw you have them in about too, they shouldn’t be there because you will be loading a copy of the buttons.
