Jim,
You're awesome... Interestingly enough, I just hacked and hacked and for
the FIRST problem at least,
I came up with the same fixes. DOH. If I'd thought this all through
earlier (like six hours ago)...
In any event, it's great to see that my fix wasn't some wacked hack, but
it's actually the proper
level loading way.
I know - loadvars is something I WILL eventually try. It's just that I've
busted my butt to even get
loadvariablesnum to work, so I ain't runnin away from it just yet! :-)
NOW - As for the SECOND problem - where do I slide that AS in?
As you saw, I'm using a timeline (other than the layer I had temporarily
slapped in for that ONE actionscript
for the loadvariablesnum, I'm running all my scripts on the top layer, it's
just that things jump all over the place.
What's the proper location for this code, regardless of where people click
to LEAVE this page?
To answer your second question:
>>SECOND PROBLEM - After this page opens, when I navigate to HOME, or ABOUT
>>or SALES REPS, the loaded mc remains on the stage as the top level... How
>>do I unload
>>this page when clicking on any other button?
