i have movies with this code on them:

onClipEvent(load)  
{

totalframes=20;

this.onRollOver=function()  
{ if(this.\_currentframe\>totalframes/2)  
{ this.gotoAndPlay(totalframes-this.\_currentframe);   
}else{  
this.play();  
} }

this.onRollOut=function()  
{ if(this.\_currentframe\<totalframes/2)  
{ this.gotoAndPlay(((totalframes/2)-this.\_currentframe)+(totalframes/2));  
}else{  
this.play();  
} }

}

i cant figure out how to get them to load an external swf in to a blank mc

i have put clear buttons ontop of them which works but it stops the movie clip from playing.

any help woud be great. thanks

you have movieclips for buttons. Give the mc an instance name like “button1”, then put on the stage in frame 1 some actionsscript:

```auto

button1.onRelease = function() {
container.loadMovie("external swf name")
}

```

or

in the actionsscript on the movieclip itself like you have

```auto

onClipEvent(load)
{

totalframes=20;

this.onRollOver=function() {
if(this._currentframe>totalframes/2)
{ this.gotoAndPlay(totalframes-this._currentframe);
}else{
this.play();
} }

this.onRollOut=function()
{ if(this._currentframe<totalframes/2)
{ this.gotoAndPlay(((totalframes/2)-this._currentframe)+(totalframes/2));
}else{
this.play();
} }

this.onRelease = function() {
container.loadMovie("external swf name")
}

}

```
