Once again Helen.............YOU ROCK! Great idea.....worked perfect.

Looking at the srcipt you wrote......I think I could modify the script and

use the bytesLoaded technique for a movie on Level 2 that has used the

attachMovie method. Cause I'm sure as you know Flash loads everything in the

first frame when you use attach movie. I've been trying to conquer that too.

My only problem seems to be that This movie that I've created only works in

Level 0 because of my variables. What do you think?

Thanx a million .........again!!!!

Patrick
