If I follow the question, it sounds like may be unfamiliar with the
concept of multiple timelines? If so, you might start by reading up on the
movie clip symbol in the flash help. -Tom Unger

I want to know--yes or no--is it possible to make a button cause a graphic to
appear without using gotoAndStop to advance to a scene or frame that has the
graphic? In other words, can a button make a graphic appear and stay there,
even after the button is released? (I am making a Windows emulator and I want
the start button to make the start menu appear ON THE SAME FRAME.)
