Load movie

1

Scene 2 has one frame with a stop action. In that frame there is a movie clip (“menuclip”), with an empty 1st frame, that reveals a series of menu buttons using a mask (with motion). I want to load a movie “movie.swf” upon release of the first revealed button, button “a”, into “emptyclip”.

Action on button “a” is, upon release:
loadMovie(“movie.swf”), “_root.emptyclip”;

BTW, “movie.swf” is in the same folder. (used loadMovie successfully in scene one, but those buttons are in frame one, not sitting in a movie clip)

Where do I put the “emptyclip” and what action do I give button “a” to get “movie.swf” to play? Hope I’ve explained this clearly enough… would appreciate any help I can get.

on (release) {
loadMovie(“movie.swf”, “_root.emptyclip”);
}

should work fine. If emptyclip is on the main time line.

Just make sure you give emptyclip the instance name emptyclip.

on (release) {
loadMovie(“movie.swf”, “_root.emptyclip”);
_root.emptyclip.play(); <---- Play it if it’s currently stopped
}
