Hey Folks

Trying to load a movie [swf] on top of my main flash page and I get these errors…

* * *

**Error** Symbol=page4, layer=Layer 10, frame=1:Line 1: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler  
videogbutton.onPress = function() {

* * *

It’s a movie clip as a link on one of the pages that has a script attached to it as follows

videogbutton.onPress = function() {  
loadMovieNum(“videog.swf”, 1);  
};

Also I added the instance name videogbutton to that movie clip

Results:

The movie loaded successfully on top of my main page but with those errors.

Any help appreciated.

BTW Newbie here.

Thanks
