Button motion

1

i’ve got a button, which you roll over, and it plays a little movie
on top of it, and it looks pretty cool.

but…

when i drop that button into the stage, and write the following
action to it the action works fine, but the movie effect doesn’t
play at all.

on (release){
loadMovie(“lightblue_scrolls1.swf”, _root.dropzone);
}

why would all of the sudden the button effect not work in the stage when ever i apply the action script to it?

any info would be helpful.

I’m a bit confused, you said when you dropped it into the timeline the button doesnt play the little movie so where was it sitting when it did work? Could you be a lil more specific and maybe post the fla file?

Try this…

on (release){
 _root.dropzone.loadMovie("lightblue_scrolls1.swf");
}

is dropzone an empty movie clip above the button??
if thats what making the "cool " effect then you need the target mc to be above it . or someplace visible… use the code lostinbeta gave you and it should work…
