Hiya Christian,


With mouse events you should be able to set more than one action to  a

button(s), so an easier waay might

be to on "press" "goto and stop" "next frame" then on "release" "load movie"

level1 . In the "next" frame of the lobby movie

you have copied and pasted the buttons but this time have no actions or

mouse overs assigned to them,

simply change their "behaviors in the edit window to "graphic". When the

level1 movie loads and the same buttons

are copied and pasted into place, then they would be sitting on top of the

nonactive"dummy"  buttons and you could

have new commands. The reason for the "dummie" buttons would be so you

wouldnt  have a "hiccup" or "blank"

spot where the buttons are till the new movie loaded. This would be the only

way I could think of doing

what your trying to accomplish without the movies talking to one another

with action frames which wouldnt

be that difficult either, but it sounds like your trying to avoid that.


HTH,
