and it works perfectly! thank you very very much for your time, i guess i am gana have to start learning to use the main timeline more for scripts, the only reason i dont is beacause the book i learned AS in used a MC off to the side of the scene for all the scripts, so i learned to do all my scripts in mc lol.

anyway, do you know why this only works when you use the main timeline to hold the scripts? if not, it dosnt matter, im just happy it works.
