I want to write a function that will load movie when I click on the buttons from the menu. For example, I have a menu with four buttons and four movies with the name m1a1.swf, m1a2.swf, m2a1.swf and m2a2.swf.  
The main purpose for this function is I only have to call the function instead of write the same action script agains for four time.

So, what should i do to solve the preolem and I hope some could help me. Thanks.
