How can I do any less? beno, the enclosed code contains comments which you should read as instructions (i.e. what you need to do.) NOTE: beno, in your .fla, you will need to go into the library and edit mcCloseThumbTop and mcCloseThumbBottom to correct those graphics as they are way out of position relative to the registration point. Also, turn off Slice-9 on mcCloseThumbBottom. I hope I haven't made it too easy for you. Regards,
