Help needed for HSC project, urgent.

Question

Hi,
I am having further troubles. In my storybook on the first page all the buttons are appearing, I do not want this. How do I code to fix that, the only button I want on the first page is "page1_btn"
will paste my coding into here, and could you please tell me what to do to fix this ?
page2_btn.visible= false;
p3_first_btn.visible= false;
page1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,turnpage2);
function turnpage2 (evt:MouseEvent):void {
  screen_movie.gotoAndPlay ("page2");
  page1_btn.visible = false;
page2_btn.visible= true; 
page2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,turnpage3);
function turnpage3 (evt:MouseEvent):void {
screen_movie.gotoAndPlay ("page3");
page2_btn.visible= false;
p3_first_btn.visible= true;
p3_first_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,turnpage3a);
function turnpage3a (evt:MouseEvent):void {
screen_movie.gotoAndPlay ("page3a");
p3_first_btn.visible= false;
And, also the reason why I am setting the buttons to visible= true; at the start and visible= false; at the end is because I can only have one button for each page.
Please help someone,
Regards,
Adam

In your code you are:
1. setting page2_btn and p3_first_btn to visible false, then you set an event listener and function for page1_btn.
2. setting page2_btn to be visible true and setting an event listener and function for that button.
3. setting p2_first_btn to be visible true and setting an event listener and function for that button.
If all of this code is in the same frame, then you are turning all of the buttons' visible properties to true.
If you only want one of those buttons to be visible at any one time then set the visible property for page2_btn to true at the end of the function turnpage2 and do the same for p2_first_btn.
Something like this:
page2_btn.visible= false;
p3_first_btn.visible= false;
page1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,turnpage2);
function turnpage2 (evt:MouseEvent):void {
  screen_movie.gotoAndPlay ("page2");
  page1_btn.visible = false;
  page2_btn.visible= true; 
page2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,turnpage3);
function turnpage3 (evt:MouseEvent):void {
screen_movie.gotoAndPlay ("page3");
page2_btn.visible= false;
p3_first_btn.visible= true;
p3_first_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,turnpage3a);
function turnpage3a (evt:MouseEvent):void {
screen_movie.gotoAndPlay ("page3a");
p3_first_btn.visible= false;
You may have to make more changes, I'm guessing at what is going on in your movie.
