ok guys i have got this far..i have my tv movie right..say about 100 frames long(it loops).in the top of the vcr i have a movieclip(also 100 frames looping)it plays fine..in the tv buttons(button # 1)it calls a movie clip..that clip is the welcome page to the site and is only about 30 frames long..button one calls the clip and it starts to play..frame 15 of the clip has a stop action with a button that tells it to go to 16 and play to finish out the clip which has a blank frame with a stop action that will cut off the clip and leave it blank on the main time line when it's done..everything works fine except(of course there had to be an except)when i click on button 1 to start the clip it plays but of course the movie is looping and when it gets back to frame 1 it cuts off the clip before you get a chance to read what's inside because it's looping back to 1 and the clip is blank on 1 untill u click the button that calls it..i would just put a stop action on the main movie and stop it from looping but if i do that it stops the clock from updating!!what do i need to do guys to make this work??

have a look..

for the record virt, I made the video dot into it's own clip and the tv dot into it's own clip, stuck into frame 1. Reduced the size of the main-timeline to two frames, all works fine. Although I couldn't test it with the buttons, but you shouldn't have any problems.

thanks dave..off to work school now will fix when i get home tonight..will post results in a few days when the site is done(or at the rate i'm going about a week)..it's to bad that you can't import background images into flash to set the movie properties..but o-well..
