Flash question here.. should be an easy answer for a pro..
here's the flash piece i'm building
http://www.oro24k.com/cdart/in the main movie, i have a series of actions loading 15 cds into 15 placeholder Mcs
loadMovie ("cd1.swf", "_root.placeholderMc");
loadMovie ("cd2.swf", "_root.placeholderMc2");
loadMovie ("cd3.swf", "_root.placeholderMc3");
and so on..
my question is, how do I get rid of the "Close Window" button I have and stop the overlapping of movieclips.. Essentially, every time the user clicks a thumbnail, the new cd should replace the old cd's spot in the McThanks so much for your help

Load each CD swf into a single placeholder. The new one will boot the old one out:
oadMovie ("cd1.swf", "_root.placeholderMc ");
loadMovie ("cd2.swf", "_root.placeholderMc");
loadMovie ("cd3.swf", "_root.placeholderMc");

use one empty MC, not 15...when a user clicks on a new cd, that swf will replace the one that is currently in the target empty MC....

on(release) {
_root.placeholderMc.loadMovie("c...
};===
on(release) {
_root.placeholderMc.loadMovie("c...
};

Got what your saying... here's the deal.. the movies load in actions in the main timeline..
one after another... not on a button action... simply so they can all be backloaded
with this in place, the only one that loads now is cd15.swf

well now you know for next time...have all your nav in the _root, and pull in content to a single empty MC....

only thing is that you might want to preload those mc's
