I think you have the right idea. But you will only need 30 tweens: for each

of the six buttons, there will be one tween from each of the other five.

So it's really not so bad :)  In my own mad scientist mind, the way to go

is to have each button target its own associated movie clip (external to

the button), which has five tweens.  Each tween is preceeded by a blank,

stopped, labeled frame.  The following frame is where the tween kicks in.

When you click on a button, it tells its associated to play, triggering the

tween that's next in line.  It also tellTargets the five mc's associated

with the other buttons, to go to the frame preceding the tween that moves

the graphic from the just-clicked button position to whichever of the other

buttons is next clicked.  Hope this makes sense; if it does, you don't

really have a lot of work to do to make it work.
