I'm trying to create a user interface with flash 4. <br><br>The setup:<br><br>Two or more links, each will be a movie stopped at frame 1. When a link gets mouseovered, the movie will begin to play and eventually reveal other links. (sorta link a menu system). <br><br>ie.<br>Link1 ------- Sublink<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sublink<br><br>Link2<br><br>When I mouseover link2 I want Link1 to go back to the first frame and stop, then start playing Link2.<br><br>Both movies are bassically the same think with different text and link targets. At the beginning of the movie (object?) I close the previous movie by using a tell target<br><br>// Code<br>// &quot;which&quot; is the name of the variable that keeps track<br>// of&nbsp;&nbsp;last movie played<br><font color=red>Begin tell target (&quot;../:which&quot;)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;Go to and stop (1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>End tell target</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>// Changes &quot;which&quot; to this link<br><font color=red>Set Variable (&quot;../:which&quot;) = &quot;../:&quot; & _name</font><br>// End Code<br><br>The Problem: Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Is this the right way of creating a user interface?<br>
