Hi Sarah,

Im not entirely sure if I can help you as I am newer than a new thing to all
things flash but I do have 6 books on Flash and Actionscript which I am
starting to go thru so I may be able to stumble across some code that can help
you.

But first I need to know exactly what it is you would like to happen.

Would I be correct in guessing that when you press one of the buttons, the
black square(which would have your content?) would sit on top of all the other
buttons?

Do I have permission to butch (botch?!) your code to get something along the
lines of what you seek?

Naturally I respect any copyright issues. It will be a learning curve for me
too.

Let me know what you think

Regards

Peter

sure, help me anyway possible, thanks so much.

basically I am trying to use load movie via the clickme button. Then load the
movie into the placeholder there. The are buttons underneath the placeholder
layer in the main timeline do not apear to show through the placeholder layer ,

BUT, the button actiions seem to, not good

even if i dont use load movie and just have a button underneath a layer with
graphics, the button action still turns the cursor into a hand and the button
action works, not good

If I understand correctly you are trying to disable the buttons when the movie
loads above them, right?

So give your button an instance name (my_button in this case) and disable them
when you load the movie above them using:

my_button._enabled=false;

when you remove the movie from the stage, however you are doing that, include
in the function:

my_button._enabled=true;

to reactivate them.
