Help with flash menu bar

[jhiggins5]

Help me Please! I created my first flash site
http://www.andreataylor.net
But the menu buttons lose their over, down states and won't change color.
I used Flash 8 and used the buttons out of "Common Libraries"
then put the buttons inside of a Movie Clip symbol (exactly like lynda.com training video said) and in actions put
MM_about.onRelease = function () {
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("about.swf", 5)

It goes to the correct page but the button stays static...no over, down state, etc.?? Can anyone help me?

In the future, please do not post technical questions in the Coffee Lounge. Thank you.

not without an .fla to look at.. did you delete the various states on your buttons per chance?

the code posted is for loading new content on TOP of everything else in _level5

not much to do with the button states.

are they buttons?..or movieClip? (if coming form common library. Im not familiar with them)

is there something physically blocking the mouse from triggering the button over state?
