(MX)  
on (release) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay (“home”);

function doneDelay(){  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“lance.swf”);  
clearInterval(delay);  
}  
delay = setInterval(doneDelay, 1000);  
}

The above script works great, but how exactly do I apply this to all of my buttons so that each one functions in the same purpose. Example: I have button 1…obviously theres no need for the script as long as this button is clicked at first…but obviously most users don’t go in order. So how is that I can apply this script to have my movie function the way I want it to. (fear’s he’s not making sense). What Im trying to do is have a transition for certain content to come in and a transition for the content to leave when a different is button is clicked…which loads an external .swf. Which is what the code above is for. But obviously there’s a problem with this code if the user goes out ot order. And you can’t apply more than one loadmovie function per button. So what is a trick to get around this problem…I dont think I’m making sense but I’m trying. Thanks in advance.
