button w/mc problem... 2

[natedeia]

Sorry oldnewbie , i emailed you the fla's late lastnight, but still wanted to put this out there.
This button thing i can not figure out. the one called doesntWork has a loadmovie and unload movie on release that is not allowing the movie to play for each button.
the fla Works has not code for load and unloadmovie, they work just fine. SO HOW CAN I MAKE THE MOVIE CLIP THAT THE BUTTON IS IN PLAY EVEN WHEN LOADING AND UNLOADING MOVIES???? i hope some one has a solution.
oh and if you press two buttons quickly they both play the mc's on each button. thanks people!

Great , thanks OldNewbie that is great. I have messed with it however and seem to take the on release code off the button that is in the MC and placed it on the MC with other on release functions, it all looks pretty crappy but seems to work except it does not play the MC for the button backwards well when you click the button once then again which should retract it slowly, instead it does it faster, and if anyone else knows a better set of code i can put on this that would be helpful for me to learn that. thanks soooo much! here is a link to the fla of the one i modified to halfway work.

Had a quick look, and have these questions...

I gather you only want one button to be slided out at a time, right?

Would you accept that the slide occurs when the button is rolled over rather than pressed?

Why are you loading the different movies on different levels? Wouldn't you be viewing only one movie at a time?
Would you ever have 2 movies up at the same time?
If not, why not just use 1 level to load all movies?

let me think about that, i got some of it from a tutorial that helped me put more than half of the code together, but the effect i was trying for is just that i want the bar slid out if that particular page was loaded ( home button out if home page up).
the part of different levels i did yesterday because i just could not figure it out and wanted things seperated to work on. i did have all on one level to begin with.
Would you ever have 2 movies up at the same time?
i dont think so, guess it should just be the one at a time until another button pressed and the other rolls back. thanks for checking it out, saving the day! any ideas or suggestions would be great

Has anyone of you genius' found a cure for my load/unload script screwing up the button functions? or determined that my scrip is crap and there is a better alt?

Works if you keep your mouse pointer off the edge of the movie clips (that's because of your button's design and I didn't fixed that, although I could!)...
