Hey.  
This is myself 🙂  
Yesss, I love when I can program by myself.  
A little help from the debuging aaand…done!!!  
Here it is:

on(release) {  
\_root.attachMovie(“loadswf”, “content”, 1);  
setProperty(\_root.content, \_x, 0);  
setProperty(\_root.content, \_y, 20);  
\_root.content.loadMovie(“arte/arte\_trial.swf”, 1);

Now is the following question:  
(this is still the button.enable = false doubt)  
How can I check if the mc is loaded and then enable the buttons?

Now I know I can use the:  
myMovieClip.onLoad

But I really need some help building the if statement.  
If mc is loaded, enable buttons. If it`s not, disable them

Love Kirupa  
Thanks

Hi Liam!  
Is this correct?  
I`m not sure where to put the code!?

- “content” is the newName for the attached movieclip “loadswf”;
- “this” refers to the movieclip I put the code (in this case, it`s the movieclip that contains all the buttons);
- “avanca” is on of the buttons;

\_level0.content.onLoad = function(){  
//set loaded variable  
clipLoad = true;  
//if statement  
if(clipLoad){  
this.avanca.enabled = true;  
}else{  
this.avanca.enabled = false;  
}  
}
