Okie i have uploaded the .fla as a flash 8 and flash MX 2004, i am kinda new to flash so still learning alot of the code, if any one would mind taking a look, if it can not be done will have to rethink the design. The urls to the fla are

http://www.newmedia.lincoln.ac.uk/rkehoe/files/site.fla
http://www.newmedia.lincoln.ac.uk/rk...es/site_mx.fla
