why are you creating more nav's when you mouseover or click an instance of nav? that seems unnecessary and quite possibly the source of the problem. i might be wrong but are you using it to try and change the color of the button? if so this should be done a different way. so i notice with this that when you first create the menu you pass "Contact.html" but in the rollover and click functions you only pass "Contact". as you are also passing the same myX value (782) that the new instance of nav will overlay the old one. so when you rollover a new instance with only "Contact" is created and then when you click it instead clicks the new instance without the ".html" bit and so that is why you are having to add it into the Navigate.to . i would remove all the conditionals and all the code adding nav's. just have a simple trace for the mouseover and not worry about changing the button color. you can add that once opening links works properly. i don't think you need to iterate through them in the mouseover or click behaviours but for iterating through a list of buttons you could store them in an array and loop through that using a 'for' loop or add them as children to a container sprite/movieclip and loop through its children again with a 'for' loop. hope i've helped! david
