I have this website that I'm working on that has these rollovers that go to
different places.
If I click on one of the rollovers, I want an image gallery to appear over my
exisiting navigation.
The image gallery will have it's own nav, of course.
Since the gallery has it's own nav, and since it will sit on top of a
background nav, how do I turn off the background nav when the gallery is
active? The only thing I can think of is to create a static version of the
background without the nav, but that means that I will have to make changes to
the site in 2 different places everytime I want to update the thing.
HELP!
I'm sure my problem is not unique.

Hello,

There are a few ways you can go about accomplishing the above. This is the
easiest

1) Drag your gallery mc(movieclip) on to the stage and give it an instance
name (I used galleryMC). Position your gallery mc where you want it.

2) Give all your buttons instance names (about_btn,gallery_btn,etc).

3) Attach the following script to Frame 1 of your main timeline. Read the
comments for more info.

Hope it helps
