Hello Everyone, I need some serious help I have a school project due today and for the past 2 days cant figure out how to do this on FLASH MX 2004. What I’m trying to do is I have:

3 different movie clips ex. dracula clip, frankenstein clip, werewolf clip  
(i doing a halloween thing)  
and I have 3 buttons ex dracula button, frank button, werewolf button and what  
I need to do is associate each button to play the clip when hit in a certain spot on the page. **What I cant figure out is How to make each movie play to the specified button when hit** …I’ve checked everywhere for tutorials and cant find a thing much help needed and is appreciated 🙂

on (release) {  
\_root.container.loadMovie(“yourmovie.swf”);  
}

of course… you need an MC named container… should be explained in the flash MX full flash site tutorial.

_if you are running the MC’s within the main clip just in different frames, then u need to send the animation to the frame containing the specific animation._

thanks for the help  
Ok sorry to ask a dumb question but im a newbie ☹ does MC stand for Main Clip also the tutorial is that on the main Flash site and what sort of topic would it be labeled under one last thing would it explain how to “send the animation to the frame” thing?  
thanks
