Hi hi I created a button which will load a swf into a empty movie clip when the button is pressed. I previewed it with Ctrl Enter and Ctrl F12. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. I tried with 2 different files. The smaller file size “Feedback” (attached file) seems to work sometimes.

I am planning on doing a full flash site and I followed the full flash site tutorial since I am a newbie in actionscripts.

Can someone help me out with this one?

Thanks in advance.

You had changed two instances of your carapace graphic into buttons - if you clicked when the playhead was on these specific frames it worked, if the playhead was on the non-button carapace graphics, it didn’t.

I’ve embedded the button inside the carapace so it works on all frames. I also remove the conflicting play() and stop() commands from f1 of the main timeline. (By default the playhead will play unless you explicitly instruct it not to)
