flash actionscript: I have a main menu on my site, but anytime i click one of those buttons and the
secondary button list/movie clip comes up, the initial set of buttons (menu)
disappears. The problem is, also, that I need to keep the secondary set of
buttons up (which are thumbnails in my portfolio site) because they lead to
more information. (the secondary set of buttons also disappear once I click on
the thumbnails.)
Ive been playing around with my levels but can't figure out what is wrong. I
might need to provide you all with more information to get a reply, if so just
let me know.

Thanks in advance.

you don't need to supply more info to get a reply but you'll certainly need to
supply more info to get help finding a solution. for example, what code is
attached to one of your initial buttons (that causes the 2ndary buttons to
appear and intial ones to disappear)?
