I’m currently making a mini site on flash. When I click on the home button, I want a .swf from my site to be displayed in the movie box. how can I do this?

this is my script:

on (release) {  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“ **2.swf** ”);  
}

I want the bold letters to be the link. how can I make it so the button is linked to [http://nick.0catch.com/2.swf](http://nick.0catch.com/2.swf) (the file on my site)? thx in advance.

😃

Why not make a copy of your “two.swf” load it up to your minisite and use the code in your first post?
