put a loadmovie action on the first frame of the movie, its the same as if you were clickin the button but instead it loads it up on the once it enters the frame automatically, and leave the button alone just add the script to the first frame of the movie Grim ---

i posted it and delete it because **grim** beat me to post it 😛 it would be ```auto emptyMovieClipInstanceName.loadMovie("about.swf"); ``` place the script in the frame when you want to load the movie 🙂 ---

i inserted this action and when i tried it in IE, the “about.swf” started blinking, i put a stop, and it kept blinking. i have attached a screenshot of the main page. ---

i guess it was because the movie was looping … and the action was being executed over and over again. in that case … the stop() is just fine 🙂 and sorry about the delay … i totally forgot to reply :-\ ---

it worked great but the scroll in the “about.swf” is messing up with the mouseover captions. if i click on the slider bar to scroll, then hover my buttons, the caption appears on the slider bar. why did this happen !!! ---

i might be wrong but i think this has been solved before … it was something about the caption being dragged at the same time than the scrollbar … :-\ search in the forums … hopefully you’ll find the thread 🙂 ---
