flash (macromedia): Hello and Merry Christmas.

I'm trying to get a site launched today, but my Flash move has a couple of problems.

http://www.citcfx.com/new_web/flash/planets.htm

Behind the big blue planet is a button that says "click here". It's supposed to be in front of the big blue planet instead. That's problem number one.

When the button is released, I want it to jump to frame two of the main movie, where I want the animated planets to be gone, and the static versions there instead. When you click the button, it jumps to frame two and the static planets are there, but so are the animated ones. That's problem number two.

If someone could take a look at this for me and offer any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. Here is the fla:

Thanks much,

well i have fixed the 2 problems you mentioned, by swapping depths for the first and using unloadmovie for the second.(removeMovieclip() only works for dynamically attached stuff).
I`ve also included another fla to show you how to rotate planets because your moon is not rotating too well.

Cool. Thanks.

Only problem now is that the revolving gray planet is still in frame 2, and so is the 'click here" button. Both should be gone in that second frame.

give the revolving planet an instance name of mymc8 and change this part of the code to
cc.but.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("f1")
for(i=1;i<9;i++){
unloadMovie("mymc"+i)
}
this._visible = false
}

Thanks a million. You have no idea how relieved I am to have this project done and up now.

Merry Christmas.
