I beat my brains out for hours just trying to get the swf to load and it was somthing so simple I was missing- if I can avoid the hours of frustration this time that would be great. I’d appreciate it if someone showed me how to create a basic button that will act on the contents of a loaded swf… The help manual says you reference the loaded clip using the level you assigned it, but for some reason it isnt workin for me- help would be greatly appreciated 🙂
