Hi Adam, I'm always jumping to the vocab movie and back to whence I came. Since I don't understand lists very well, I can't wrap my mind around part of your suggestion: When I jump back, where does the script go in a Frame Script under the marker? Did I script the the script on the back button from BDvocab correctly? Thanks for responding so quickly. Chris
