Hi Ralf.


You should probably learn to put those buttons into movie clips.  Then all

the clips can exist in the same frame or frames.  Each clip would have an

empty frame with a stop action as well as a frame with a button in it.

Then you can use TellTarget to advance each clip or send it back.  It will

take some work on your part to learn this; it is confusing at first but

once you get used to it a whole world of navigational possibilities will

open up for you.  Plus your movies will look deceptively short :-)
