Buttons in mcs that load external jpegs into empty mc on stage

1

hi, i’ve searched through some threads and have tried different options including the kirupa tutorial on loading external files through LoadMovie, etc.

anyway, i have a movieclip that contains about 6 buttons. i’m using a movieclip to hold those buttons because i wanted all of the buttons to fade in after each other and didn’t know how to code that other than to manually tween them and altering their alpha - so that’s why they’re all in that movieclip.

the movieclip is on the mainstage, and i want each button that appears to be able to load an external jpeg into another movieclip on that same stage. say, i have an empty movie clip just for that purpose. it’s almost like a gallery, except with the buttons inside the movieclip. none of them have been working so far, can anyone please help??

thanks!
