Hey,

I have an actionscript problem which I need to resolve FAST! I have been trying all day and cannot get this to work. I am creating a help window which pops up using this actionscript…

```auto

on (release) {
	_root.attachMovie("helpMenu", "helpMenu", 10000);
}

```

I am trying to get a button that I have in the “helpMenu” movieclip to close the window. Any help would be appreciated. I have tryed this which I thought would work but doesnt…

```auto

on (release) {
	_root.removeMovieClip("helpMenu");
}

```

I also have made sure that everthing involved is exported for actionscript in the linkage menu. I cannot figure it out. PLEASE HELP!

Thanx guys.
