Yeah, well, what's the problem ? You want the entire code or what ? Are you having problem with anything at all ?

I recommend you to have a seperated movie clip for the drop down menu. So when you click the drop down, it jumps to a different label on the timeline where it shows the menu movie clip. On that movie clip, you may have all of your buttons aligned on it. Then, I would not reload the entire movie, but instead I would assign a different value to a variable to memorize which button has been clicked, and load the textfile into another movie clip (for example TextContent) on the main movie. Something like:

ex: BUTTON_5 (located into _root.DropDown movieclip)...
on (release) {
_root.variable = "Button5";
tellTarget("TextContent") {
gotoAndPlay("Start")
// 2nd frame labelled Start
}
}

TextContent: 2nd frame actionscript...
if (_root.variable == "Button5") {
loadMovie("Button5.swf",Emptymovieclip);
// Emptymovieclip is any movie clip you've created and placed into TextContent movieclip
}

Well, I'm not sure if that helped, it seems pretty confusing, but anyway, I hope you can get something out of my explanations ;P
