Umm. You might want to forget what I just said. Hey. What do expect from a newbie? ;-). Here's specifically what's wrong with the movie: 1.) select scene 1 2.) go to frame 60 3.) disable the "enable buttons" and "enable frame actions" 4.) double click on the portfolio picture (shapes pic) 5.) in the actions tab. Give it an action like the coffe cup picture has. To whatever scene you want it to open when clicked. 6.) now click on the blued tree picture (symbol 28)in the middle and delete it. 7.) drag and drop "symbol 23" from the library to the scene where the old tree pic was 8.) double click that pic and give it an action like you did earlier. That should fix all the problems. You can now enable the buttons and stuff again if you'd like to test the movie in flash. You seem to have duplicate buttons of that blue tree. symbol 28 is not working properly. Not sure why. Could be you can't have duplicates or that pic is corrupted or something. Thanks for the challenge. I learned something new about controlling scenes by debugging this for ya. ScottA
