Hiya 
I’ve made this mini website (just for me and friends and such), and it first starts out with a little button on the top right corner. Click the button and three button ease and fade from top left and right at the same time. Ok, now, when I click button 1, an animation plays, and text gets displayed, and if I were to click button 1 again, the animation plays again (the exact opposite of the first animation), and nothing is displayed like it was before I clicked on button 1.
So, I’ve been having troubles making a mechanism that would play the closing animation for button 1 (If it’s up) then play the animation for button 2.
Here’s the variable problem-
I figured out that when I had my first button named, l_aboutme, it doesn’t always work. On some things it seems to work, and on some others it doesn’t. So I changed the “l” to “link”, so now it’s link_aboutme, and it works!
By work and doesnt work, I meant stuff like-
trace(_root.b1_links.l_aboutme.aboutme);
returns “undefined”
trace(_root.b1_links.link_aboutme.aboume);
returns “true” (assuming that it’s been set true elsewhere)
I know that posting the .fla would be much easier for you to understand, but alas, I am currently at school ><, but I can’t concentrate in school until this knot is untied in my head (I have to work afterwards till later hours, so it’d be torture even more). sorry! and, thanks in advance 
(you’re probably thinking that I wouldn’t find out till I get home anyway, but you see, if I post now
my problem may be answered by the time I get on rather than posting when I get home and finding out tomorrow:))
