another noob question. i couldnt find it in the tutorials area, so i decided to come here. i needed to know how to go to a labeled frame, automatially, meaning when i open the swf, i want the labeled frame to load.

if anyone knows where i can go for a good basics flash tutorial, id appreciate it. even the basics on this website is higher than my current knowlege.

thanks

place it on the first frame actions of your movie

```php
gotoAndPlay("yourFrameLabel")

```

if that’s not what you wanted … could you please supply more details?

ok, i got that part, thanks. but i still cant do it.

heres the scenario:

i have a music player, that i need to load. im loadin the player from a button, like in the Loading Techniques tutorial. is there another way to load it, or how do i automatically load the button. right now its but.onPress. but.onPress loads the player.

i just need to automatically “press” the button, without having anyone press it.

if theres an easier way to automatically load my player into the movie, plz, feel free to share that with me lol.

I’m not 100% sure on this, but you can try this action, just apply it to your button. Just fill in the name of your player movie and the container name you’re loading it into.

```php
onClipEvent(load){
	loadMovie ("your_player", "container_name");
}

```

oops I thought your button was a movieclip, if that’s the case then just convert your button to a movieclip since a movieclip can act as a button as well.

After you convert the button to a movieclip, apply it to the movieclip by selecting it then opening the actions palette and pasting the code there. If it still doesn’t work then post your fla so I can take a look at it.
