- Click and drag the playback head over frames 3 - 15. Your button should now follow a circular path. To make the motion path invisible just turn that layers' visibility off.

of layer Section 1. Open the Instance Properties dialog box, click
on the Actions tab and assign the following action. An explanation
will follow.

Begin Tell Target (_level0) tells Flash to target the previous timeline... sort of like layers. Review pg.. 185-187 of your Using Flash manual from Macromedia if your lost.
Go to and Play (Nav1) tells Flash to go to the frame with the label Nav1 in the timeline we identified using Tell Target. We haven't created this label or the timeline it exists in yet. As I said before, we'll get to that in a bit.
