When you remove the clips your instances of the clip disappear ? Your
action script appears to be 7 instances... why aren't you setting your Loop
while q <=8 .. any reason?

On to the actions ..somewhere in your movie are these buttons?

Sorry I need more info. or let me look at the swf to see whats happening.
