Ⓜ Please help me, I have spent many hours trying to figure out how this works and why it doesn’t but i can’t do it!!! I want my contact us button on my flash page to go to the contact us page when you click on it. I already exported as a flash file to the SAME folder as the homepage and I already tried the code to load an external flash file and it doesn’t work. and yes I changed the file name to match what is in the code, please help me! I need step by step instructions cause I’m a noob. I would upload the file but it is too big. Summary- Want to link a flash page with a button External flash page file name -contact us Thank You! ---

Write down the code, maybe you got it wrong, or upolad an example file (not the real one, since it’s heavy), so that we can work on something! ---

In the button, use the loadMovieNum function. Example: on(release){loadMovieNum(nameofthefile.swf, 1);}. 1 it’s the level where the file will be loaded. If you write 0, the new file will be loaded in the place of the previous (I think you want this…). ---

[quote=Thesystem3;2341013]can you please write down the code for me again since I don’t know what I’m doing Thank you! Go Italy![/quote] Eh…You says “Go Italy” just because you want me to do your job… By the way, since you don’t know what you’re doing, the code is: ```auto on(release){loadMovieNum("example.swf", 0);} ``` where “example.swf” is the file you want to load. In the name of thw .swf, avoid space between words… ---

actually I got it to work but i don’t like that you can still click on the button behind it, I hid the button by putting a white background behind the contact info, but you can still click on it. anyway to fix this? ---

you can’t see the button but it still shows the little hand to click on the link behind the page. I wonder if i export the page as an image instead, it might work? ---

I’m sorry, didn’t read your last messages! You can load the new clip in a different level and frame; you can load it in a level without the button! ---
