This is really bugging me now. Here is what I am trying to do. Firstly I am following a tutorial on here, where when a button is pressed it loads an external swf top play, and then another button is pressed it plays an outro and then the next swf is loaded. The thing is I can just about get this to work, but this is not practical as when I put this online I want the buttons to be at the top of the page, and the swfs to be loaded in in a different location on the page. I am really confused about how to do this. When I create the initial swf, do I have to have both the buttons and the moviclips on the same swf? I don’t want this as they need to be separate. How would I do this? At the top of the page I will have my swf file for the buttons. When I press button 1 the first moviclip will load on the centre of the page, though before it loads I want it to have something else there, say a picture. How would I ensure that the new movieclip will load in a particular positon I require? Because I don’t obviously want it visible before it is pressed, so how on earth will I ensure that the movieclip loads in a particular part of the window? ---
