Im going to repost this question but simplify it, I read this post afterwards and it even confused me…
I not sure how to delete it.
Hello every one.
I have 3 movie clips that are being used like a button, they appear in the middle of the screen, when clicked on the 3 movies move to the left of the screen.
the top movie clip is at x: 30 y: 180
the middle movie clip is at x: 30 y:345
the bottom clip is at x: 30 y: 510
if you click on the middle clip, it moves to the postion of the top clip,
the top click then movies to the bottom, and the bottom moves to the middle
if you click on the bottom clip, it moves to the top, the middle clip moves to the bottom, and the top clip moves to the middle.
basicly the 3 clips cycle positions, depending on what clip the user clicks on, the button that was clicked on moves to the top.
THE PROBLEM…
I want to load an external movie clip. I want the clip to load when the the movie clip that the user cliced on moves to the top postion x: 30 y: 180,
THE CODE…

SORRY ABOUT THE WRAPPING, the copy and paste messed it up…
If any one can help that would be great
