Persistant MovieClip

[Rancor]

I have a really small Flash file I'd like someone to look at.

I've got a stop sign in frame 6, and when you click it, it's supposed to bring you back to the first frame, which it does. However, the stop sign movie clip doesn't disappear, even though I ONLY have it in frame 6 on the timeline.

I've never seen this before. Can you look at it real quick and see if you notice anything strange?

Thanks in advance.

(Note: the fla calls an external SWF, but I'm not attaching it at the moment as it doesn't affect the problem; plus, it's top secret info at the moment.)

It appears this line of code, in frame 6 on the main timeline, is causing your problem
stopSign.swapDepths(psa); I commented it out and the file works fine.

I don't use swapDepths, but is stopSign getting loaded into another clip at the level where psa resides, is the movieclip being removed, it appears it is staying and that is why you now see the stopsign in the beginning.

change your stop sign button code to the following

code:

---

on(release){

	_root.gotoAndPlay(1);

	_root.psa.removeMovieClip();

	_root.stopSign.removeMovieClip();

}

---

don't know why, but that seemed to do it.
keep all other code the same..

should work fine,

I've used swapDepths before, but I don't remember it acting quite like this.

At any rate, your simple addition works. Thank you.
