Some interesting information on here. Slightly off topic but I am so excited !. I saw Cats The Musical for the first time and the music along with the dancing is incredible. It is an emotional journey that all the audience gets involved with !. ‘Cats’ will make you laugh and smile and touch certain places inside your heart. Everyone left the theater singing, pleased and uplifted. If you get a chance to go and see ‘Cats’ I really recommend it.

Hi,
Ow a very cool website
I need your help,
I am a student in the college of education
I have an assignment, like creating a simple science module using flash cs5.5
and i have a serious problem coz I’m a very beginner in flash
My module like this
In the main time line I have only 2 frames
the first frame contain McContent, a nested movie clip that contains the content of the teaching and
in the second frame i placed McQuiz, a nested movie clip that contains questions related to the content in the McContent.
The Mc Content contains 7 frames and the McQuiz contains 5 frames.
My problem is I want to have a review button (or movie clip) that will only appear in the last frame of the Mc Quiz and i want that button to take the student to jump from the 5th frame of Mc Quiz to the 2nd second frame of Mc Content. Could you please help me with the action script for that button.
Thank you so much. I hope I articulate the problem clearly.
I am an International student so my English is not good. Sorry :(
I really appreciate your help.
Regards Ben.
