Ok what i need to know how to do is as follows:-
I have a sliding/infinite menu that has Buttons located on it and i would like to simply open up MovieClips onto the Main Stage when the buttons are clicked. And when i click on the next button it closes the previous movie clip then opens the respective one.
THANKS!

also is it possible to open the .swf into a desired section? or impossible to open up and show .swf inside a .swf?

i tried this tutorial and i manage to load a .swf onto the stage BUT it takes over the whole page.
And i tried putting the code in the frame as the example in the tutorial BUT it doesn’t work because the button is in the movieclip not on the “Scene 1” stage…

Hey -
Could you post your code and/or your .FLA file so I can examine exactly what you’re doing with your scripting?

i actually don’t know what to put in the scripting
BUT this is what i’ve tried…
**on (release) {
loadMovie(“sunnyvale.swf”, “container1”);
}**
I drew a square and made it a movie clip called the instance container1…
because my button called “SunnyOpen” is on a separate movie clip i tried making a test button on the actual “Scene 1” stage where the container1 is but still no go…

at the end of the day i just would like to load the movie Sunnyvale.swf into a specific square in Scene1.
All my buttons are actually on a sliding menu which is a Movie Clip.
