Hi gang  
I tried this tutorial found here:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.html](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.html)

Here’s my problem. I followed the tutorial to a T and all the buttons work fine, the transition works fine BUT the only thing that happens is that the SAME section keeps loading no matter what button I press!?!

So say I have three sectiosn “About” “Sports” and “Fun” when I click the About button the “about” SWF comes about, when I click the “Sports” button the “ABOUT” SWF comes on and when I click the “Fun” button the “ABOUT” section comes on.

What’s interesting is that if I press “Sports” first, the “Sports” SWF comes on for all three buttons… and if I press “FUN” first, then the “Fun” SWF comes on for all three buttons…

Has anyone experienced this? I am using Flash MX if it makes any difference.

Cheers
