Never no bother especially from an admitted "newbie"; we all here 

generally remember our own newbie times. Not that long ago, come to 

think about it.

Andy,


One very most important guideline is to at least post a URL if not a 

place where the FLA can be downloaded.


There's actually a place (an ftp) thanks to John Croteau where ya can 

easily upload the FLA for others to check out. I don't have the addy 

at my fingertips, but someone else here probably does pretty quick 

for ya.



Not certain I'll have time/space to reply whenya do that, but others 

here will certainly be better able to help ya, having that URL or FLA.


HTH,


Kenny Sherwood
