Sorry if this is a bit long, but it's a hard one to describe...

I have bunches on components inside movieClips (question screens and info pages... text Areas, tickboxes, labels, radio buttons, etc) I am loading modules into my main movie using loadMovieNum(level) which works fine except...

In my loaded module, I set the _visible property of its movieClips to false on frame 1, but regardless of that, when the movie is loaded the component bounding boxes appear on screen for a second or two. Especially the text areas and label components.

I have tried placing a loading graphic over the top of the clips when the module is loaded in, but the graphic glitch occurs regardless.

Has anyone had this happen to them... and how do I get rid of it?

I suppose I could start everything offscreen and then move it into position, but I don;t want to that unless I have to.

Many thanks in advance for your help and for taking the time to read :)

solved. I placed an overlay graphic inside each of my module clips, instead of placing it on the top _level of my main movie. That did the trick... not ideal, I know, but it'll do for fear of spending ALL MY LIFE trying to work these components out. ;) :rolleyes: :p
