Code 4 movieClip Button to load a movie clip into a placeholder Movie Clip

Yeah that title sounds a little confusing…so i will explain:

Is there a way to tell a “movie clip button” that once it is clicked on to load a “movie clip” into a “movie clip placeholder”. So instead of loading an external swf into the placeholder, it will be a movie clip from within the same library. Putting every single custom clip on the timeline would take a while, so that is why I thought it would be easier like this, and the other movie clips are not that large that I want to load into it so there is no need for external swfs, trying to keep it clean. Here is the code along the lines I am trying to go for.


this.profile_mc.onRelease = function() {
placeholder_mc.loadMovie(“profileSection_mc”,“placeholder_mc”,"_root.content");
}


  • "profile_mc is the button I am trying to activate to load the
    “profileSection_mc” into the “placeholder_mc”. but so far no good.

  • the movie clips are within the same library, not on the timeline or external library.

  • Is this possible?:crazy:
