Hi,

I’m making a touch screen movie in flash and have a couple of issues. I’ve got three buttons on the stage, when I press them I want them to go to a certain frame but they don’t, the flash animation just runs along the timeline and the buttons don’t interact properly. Another way of doing this animation is to load a movie when a button is pressed. I’ve tried this but when I load a movie by clicking a button, the buttons stay in there place and the movie justs loads on the same screen as the buttons. Is there a way of getting around this without using scenes?
