</div>

on one of the tutorials to load a movie it teaches you how to load with a button…

[COLOR=blue]but.onPress = function () {  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);  
loadMovie(“loaded.swf”, “container”);  
container.\_x = 150 ;  
container.\_y = 20 ;  
}

[/COLOR]

does anyone know how to load it without a button?

Yep. But somehow, I don’t think this is gonna answer your question. 🙂

```auto

 _root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("loaded.swf", "container");
container._x = 150 ;
container._y = 20 ;

```

You could simply remove the event handler:

```auto
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("loaded.swf", container);
container._x = 150;
container._y = 20;

```

…Or you could call it if you don’t want to remove it:

```auto
but.onPress = function() {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("loaded.swf", container);
container._x = 150;
container._y = 20;
};
but.onPress();

```

that just means you have an extra “}” tucked in there somewhere.
