Hey all,

I loaded a moive clip named live.swf into a clip named leciaflash.swf. I got that part working, but when live.swf is loaded, the buttons arn’t working (they work if i just open up live.swf by itself though.

The code used in the buttons in the movie clip is;

on (release) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(“p1”);  
}

and obviously i have labelled a frame “p1.”

Thanks alot everyone, you guys are the best 😉
