I have been facing this problem for many days. The problem is that its hard to search for a tutorial for this one. Okay here it goes… ill try to be as simple as possible.

suppose i want to load a certain “02.swf” file into my “01.swf” file by pressing a button named “02” (this button is inside “01.swf”). i will certainly use the loadmovie action to do that. No problem… ive done that. The problem starts after that… what if i want a certain animation to play after i press the button “02” before it loads the 02.swf?

I wonder if i was precise with my problem… please help…
