In Kirupa’s tutorial [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full\_site2.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full_site2.htm)

it shows action script that accesses pages that are [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]separate[/FONT][/COLOR] files from the scene you’re currently working on.

example:

on (release) {  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“locations.swf”);  
}

but that is not what I want, I want to click on a button and have it load up a movieClip that I have already within my scene’s internal Library. I couldn’t figure out what to type into the search engine to find out anything and I don’t know what to change in the action script.

Thanks in advance.
