on (release) {  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“mission.swf”);  
}

Im using this script on a button to load a movie clip into my web page.

Im using same script for other web pages loading. and they work.  
But on this one I gotta like double click the button to load it up or click on other buttons then back to the missions button. Testing it in test mode of course.

Iam such a noobie been working on this site for like a year just never have time to get it done or get help trying to fix it and stuff.

THanks for any help!

HALO

I’ve been dealing with this too, although there shouldn’t be any reason for it. The solution for me was cleaning out my code, get rid of any unneccesary bits, replace code by dot syntax (if not so), … That worked out for me.

Are you sure \_root.contents is there when you load the movie?? Did you try to trace it?

```auto
on (release) {
trace (_root.contents);
_root.contents.loadMovie("mission.swf");
}

```

If this returns _undefined_, there’s a problem with your paths.

pom 🙂
