I’m having trouble with the “load movie” action. I add the action to my button, but when I click it, it loads a blank page…I’m linking to a URL… is that the best way to do it? Any explanation that leads to any understanding of this function would be greatly appreciated!! --noob

Could you post the action you used on your button?

I could be wrong, but I don’t think you can load a webpage into flash. What are you trying to load it into?

EDIT: sorry, I didn’t read your question carefully, if you just want to link it to a URL then use this:

```php
on (release) {
    getURL("http://www.somesite.com/", "_blank");
}

```

yes … either loadMovie() or loadMovieNum() they’ve got to be swf’s

**eg** already said … you can’t load html pages into flash.  
the most you can do is html formatted text

well … i don’t know what you’re trying to do but i’ll give you two options 🙂

a flag:

```auto
instance.onRelease = function () {
if (!flag) {
// your actions here
flag = true
}
}

```

or disable the button:

```auto
instance.onRelease = function () {
// your actions here
this.enabled = false
}

```

hope it helps =)
