Hi everyone,

I am working on a site and i am really stuck at this point. I have buttons on the main stage which load external swf content files into my movie with a preloader.

They all work fine but i also need buttons in a drop down menu and I cannot get the buttons in the drop down menu to load in the different content swf's. I know its related to paths but i dont know what action i need on the drop down buttons and where to put the actions?

I would really really appreciate some help as this has been driving me crazy for two days! Im new(ish) to actionscripting, ive added my files for reference...

thanks so much in advance
bri :)

//set a variable that stores the next external movie to be loaded
_root.nextMovie="content1.swf";
//tell the cover mc to play its closing animation
_root.cover.gotoAndPlay("close");


do that from anywhere inside any mc and it should work
