Hi, John.  Yes, you are getting very close.  Instead of making a different

variable for each button, make "one" variable with a different "value" for

each button.  Then do your "finish up your animation" part of the unload,

and at the end of every child movie, put Load Movie "Variable name"


And yes you can, as far as I know, replace the movie you are in, but you

don't need to put the unload movie first, your load movie command will

replace the one that is there.
