this site. drivin me nuts!

clicking on the "services" section gives you 9 options.

each option is set up in its own scene

(scene 1, scene 2, - scene 9)

each scene looks identical, except it calls up a different txt file. (9 text files, services1.txt - services9.txt).

however... sometimes, clicking on option gives you a different result.

for example, clicking on, say, option 4 sometimes gives you the text for, say, option 8.

AND I CANT FRICKIN FIGURE OUT WHY!!

puh-LEASE can a guy get some help

thanks

ok, as an update (if this helps at all)...

it appears the problem only occurs with new text files.

lemme 'splain:

you go to the site

you click on option 1, you get the text for option 1.
then you click on option 4, you get the text for option 1.
then you click on option 4 again, NOW you get the text for option 4.
from that point on, anytime you click on 1 or 4, you're ok.
but if i now click on option 7, ill get whatever i looked at last.

sooo...

its as if it'll only load up the TXT files that have already been loaded up succesfully, otherwise, its just reading them from "cache" (or whatever the flash equivalent to "cache" is).

so, mebbe ill try preloading all the txt files?

quicker / other fixes?
