Hi,

I am very new to flash and hence doing this work for local group as part of learning flash MX.

I got only one section on this site where I got 7 buttons that loads different swf files. I DON’T WANT ALL WORK IN ONE SWF FILE SINCE IT TAKES AGES TO LOAD. So I made up this different swf files.

This is the instance of button and how it does animation on mouse over.

I got empty movie instance name, container.

Now, this is NOT working. I tried putting following code INSIDE one of the button (though this are button that are movie instace and not button type)

```auto

on (release) {
_root.container.loadMovie("decorationfive.jpg");
}

```

Please help me on how to get this work. I have never done this before so I might sound stupid. ☹ lol
