Ok I’m a newbie.

The swfs I want to load are picflash1,2,3… etc .swf in a folder “movies”. I am not using an absolute path as I am just testing things out, before they go up.

I have followed the ‘Infinite Menu’ tutorial by Pom and have no problem with the code for the movement of the menu as a mc. BUT I cannot get the buttons to work. The only script I can use to get a button to load a mc at all is:

[COLOR=royalblue]on (release) {  
\_root.loadMovie(“movies/picflash1.swf”);  
}[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#4169e1][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black]This doesn’t of course load the mc into a new level in the same mc or at \_x, 150 and \_y, 150. Which is what I want! So I am using this:[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]on (release) {  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“area”,1);  
loadMovie(“movies/Picflash1.swf”, “area”);  
setProperty(“area”, \_x, 150);  
setProperty(“area”, \_y, 150);  
stop();  
}[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#4169e1][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black]…and now it doesn’t work! The button does work if it is not nested in the mc I need for the script to be used for the infinite menu.:h:[/COLOR]

I’ve been at this all day and my head hurts… HELP!
