You can use button handlers on movie clips in MX.

```auto
on (release){
loadMovieNum("yourFile.swf", level);
}

```

Or through AS on a frame.

```auto
_root.yourMovieClip.onRelease = function() {
loadMovieNum("yourFile.swf", level);
}

```

No. You can do an onRelease for a movie clip to make the movie clip itself a button.

I don’t even use buttons that much anymore…lol.
