Basicallly, Im loading a .swf which contains clips that have buttons inside them that bring up different pictures using tell target.

When I test the movie within itself its fine, but when I test it by using load movie none of the targetting works.

I dont get this =(

You attached a fla called main1.

It has three buttons on the right: Pre-Press, Web and Imaging.

I noticed in your Pre-Press button you had:  
on (release) {  
loadMovie(print.swf, \_root.contents1);  
}

I would change that to:  
on (release) {  
\_root.contents1.loadMovie(“print.swf”);  
}

Your other two buttons refer to a frame in a scene called ‘Main’. This scene doesnt exist in your fla. The only scene you have is called ‘Scene 1’.

I couldnt find what you were talking about above to help you out, sorry.

Regards,  
Viru.

Just working your actions to play and stop the advert movie clips that fly in and out.

I’ve got an idea, it’ll take a bit longer cos of your setup, bare with me.
