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();
