Okay… Let me tell you what I think…

First of all, that reason doesn’t justify the multiple threads… I know that there is no rule on that, but I think that is a netiquette…

Having said that, I saw your original thread… and you are not providing all the information that needs whichi we can use to help you…

Let me tell you this… Why not create a sample file and post it so the other people can take a look??? I say sample file because that way you might be able to pinpoint where your problem lies while creating one, and the file size gets smaller…

What do you think??? 😉

Thanks=)

no it dont do that here, cus im loading it into \_root now.  
But the thing is, when u push the main menu(the small squears) the old one dissapears and the new one starts. Because the are both loaded in 1. But id like the new one to load in over the old one, so that it builds it self up over it, then when its done, it removes the old one.

Im thinkin it has to be some var on the attach, so if the old one is on 2 the new goes on 3. But i have no idea how to do it?

Is this clear or am i still ramblin?=)

</div>

Um… Okay… 😉

You can try this…

Add this in the first frame of main timeline…

```auto
_global.depth = 0;

```

and change you code like this for all of them…

```auto
var newMc = _root.attachMovie("megmain", "interface" + (_global.depth + 1), _global.depth++);

```

This will ensure that the depth where they get attached will be keep going up…

Well… I had to change the new instance name of the movieclip too so that you can use that name to delete the specific movieclip…

Good luck… 😉

</div>

Well… The new instance name… You are using names like this in your movie…

```auto
interface_1
interface
megmain_1
portfoliomain_1
kompetansemain_1
portfoliomain
megmain_1
kompetansemain_1

```

It doesn’t matter what it is as long as you keep track of it… Why did I change it to ‘interface’??? I just copied the script from that button… That’s why… No other reason… 😉  
To remove… Use (the instance name + the depth number). removeMovieClip()… For example, you want to remove ‘kompetansemain\_1’ which is located in depth number 30, then…

```auto
_root.kompetansemain_130.removeMovieClip();

```

something like this??? Check out the debugger while you are doing it to make sure you get the right path for the movieclip…

Good luck for the new job… I hope you get it… 😉
