Hello:

Thank you for responding so quickly.

I have added child and it has removed the error. However, the button icon has disappeared as you can see when you play the .swf and the reset button doesn't clear the stage of everything but the star and the back ground.

See new code:

It is ok that the new .fla I attached has not been uploaded yet. It is the same as the one in the last post. -w

ok. Here it is again and a .swf so you can see how it works, if the other file won't queue either.

The reason for the case statements is because there is one button and it needs to change each time it is clicked. The reset button is a button that needs to remove everything from the stage.

I am creating, adding and removing in one place because the functions in the click function is out of scope when you reach the onReset function so, it needed to be re stated to get rid of that 2025 error.

Hello:

Here is a CS3 version of the .fla

Appreicate your thoughts here. I have tried the suggestions. These in this new .as file are the only ones that I was able to impliment in order to avoid more errors. Not sure how I can further change the reset button to be more like a button.

Hello Ned:

Thanks for your input. Here is the CS3 package including classes. I will try debugging. -W
