Hi

I have a button and have used this code in the actions panel:

but.onPress = function () {  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);  
loadMovie(“acoustic-education-em22ftp.swf”, “container”);  
container.\_x = 150 ;  
container.\_y = 20 ;  
}

This works fine…  
My problem is when I add another button I either get an error  
or nothing happens when the button is pressed.

I have changed the name of the movie on the second button, changed the container #  
Changed the name of the button as well…But nothing happens…  
I also have done these separately and in as many combinations as possible.

Any Ideas what I’m doing wrong…Any help would be appreciated.
