Awesome, thank you!
I actually will have to try this. I fixed it late last night with a
pre-loader. Essentially what was happening was the scripts I was using
were working fine, and the actionscript was moving the variables
along, but what I had to do was load all the images first because
Flash, for some reason, would just take whatever pic it loaded first
and just substitute every other pic with it. I believe it was on top
of all the other pics....
None the less it is working, but thank you so much for your help Aran!
Cheers,
Dennis
