Hi guys,

Complete newbie to flash and as3, but im getting into it a bit with college and im making a small basic flash webpage.

Im not sure if this is possible but im going try and explain it best i can to get a few pointers.

So i basically have a webpage with 4 different pages, (each page being a MC ), But the pages arnt new keyframes, Instead they are small movie clips taht look like post cards.

the idea i have is so when the about button is clicked it will add the about\_mc to stage, it does not change to new frame, But stay’s on the current frame, While it imports the about\_mc to stage…

i hope that makes sence.

My basic understanding is if i use code like this

about\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAbout);

function addAbout(event:MouseEvent) {  
trace(“about btn clicked”);

[COLOR=“RoyalBlue”]and in here insert something like, [SIZE=“4”]import about\_mc to stage[/SIZE], it would work[/COLOR]

}  
but im nto sure how to go about writing the code.

anyhelp would be much apprieciated.  
cheers  
Jordan
