I am a semi experienced Java-VB programmer but I am new to action script, and am finding it very criptic. Most of the exaples i have seen hide the code in really obscure places. I also find that allot of action script does not do what yo expect it to.

My problem:
I downloded this navigation panel with mouse over bars (from this site), aftere dicecting the code I understand how it works and what is does. But when I go about modifying it to add one extra bar. It will not work!!!! :mad: .

I have spent ages going over and over and over the code but the extra bar i added wont work!!

Please help me.

when you copied the last movie clip you never changed its instance name (should be nav5)

hey splict, nice answer and good encouragement! I'm about to spend an entire month doing only AS2.0! I hope I figure out how to move the ball! :)

I'm sure you will without much trouble. :) But just in case, there is always the backup method:
Drink enough martinis and the ball seems to move itself :D

I'm happy more people are joining me on the darkside (2.0)
