I've been using a tutorial to teach myself some Flash and help build a portfolio website for some of my design. I seem to have everything figured out except this one problem that I have been mulling over for two weeks. The website has a flying menu that is in the middle of the page on the home page and then moves to the top right corner when on any of the other pages. This works fine for the first time you click on a page, but then as soon as you go home and try to leave again it gets stuck in the middle of the page. You can see the website at www.sierrahuckins.com if you don't understand what I mean.
I can't for the life of me figure out why it gets stuck. I don't think it's a problem with the coding because I already tried copying the coding straight from the working files that the tutorial provided in case I had mistyped something. But I'll include the scripts here so that you can see how it works.
Any help or ideas of what might be causing this would be highly appreciated.
