Here's my problem: I have a Main site main.swf that calls in external swfs for each page of the site. I have an intro and outro transition that mask the main content in these external swfs. All that works, here's what doesn't: One external swf (a.swf) contains the mask transition layer that masks 5 different MCs. When I test it, the MCs work fine in the external swf, but when I click on a different page, a.swf reverts to the first frame when it's getting masked for its outro transition, and not the content inside the MCs, just the first frame of the MCs. I hope that wasn't too confusing, I would really appreciate any help, thanks!

It is somewhat confusing...

Can you attach your main .fla & the problematic one?

file size is a bit big, let me see if i can simplify. On my external swf (pg1.swf) It has an intro and outra transition. the intro is a line that reveals the content on pg1.swf and the outro erases that content. If I am looking at movieclip1 in pg1.swf and I click to view pg2.swf my outro transition on pg1.swf erases only the first frame of movieclip1. I want it to erase the current content, say if I was viewing something on frame 10 of movieclip1 I want my outro to erase that frame, not flip at the last second and erase frame 1
Did that help any? Thanks for being patient
