Re: FLASH: Setting Specific Load Menu Features

[Olympic Health Management Systems]

John...I'm not sure I understand, sorry. is there a tutorial floating around

that follows what you're saying below? I think I understand the parking

concept, but when i load a new .swf on top of another I get both playing

together, and my menu is underneath them. I need my menu to reside above,

like on level 15, then call swfs from beneath. is there a way I can set the

default of my initial menu swf to a predetermined level? ooof. confused

again. thanks.thomas
