hello. im new. im in the process of creating a flash site that will load a piece of text (a short biography), after pressing a button that comes from an animated menu (a simple fly out menu). So when the bio button is pressed, i want a piece of text to scroll upwards, and dissappear when it goes behind a mask. The trouble is, i can’t get the movie clip to load, after pressing the button. and then i cant get it to remove itself after the clip is finished…help… sorry for being vague… but any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.
