How do I go about loading a movie from another location within a flash document? I read the tutorial on making a full flash site but I’m a complete newbie to flash so it didn’t really help!

Cheers, J

How would I take the following code :

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

Except to unload the movie? Also is there anyway of making a pause button?

if you want to unload a movie with a button, do this:

button.onRelease = function () {  
container.unloadMovie();  
};

pause buttons could be done something like this:

button.onRelease = function () {  
container.stop();  
};

then just start it again with play();
