this is my problem. I have a **MAIN** movie with 6 buttons. I have another movie (i’ll call this my **Content** movie) in which i want to load content that is related to the buttons in the main movie. I want to record the button pressed in the main movie and load the appropriate SWF in an empty movie clip in the \*\*Content \*\*Movie… I suspect I need to send the relevant variable to the Content movie when i getURL() on release of a button! I’ve made many attempts but with my meagre knowledge of AS have come up with zilch! How can I do this. Need help desperately (as usual!)

Thanks.

PS: I know Scotty will know the answer to this in a jiffy!! 😉
