Hi all,

I am new to Flash (at least doing things other then adding transitions to my picture collections). I just made a movie clip button with one of Kirupa’s video tutorials, and I have an image of a menu (graphic) on a new document, and I have no clue how to import my button movie to this new document and have it animate. Can somebody help me out?

Thanks.
