I have code that plays a random swf file from an array.

stop();  
var movieArray:Array = [‘home lotus’,‘recall’,‘doors’];

var loader:Loader = new Loader();  
var index:int = movieArray.length \* Math.random();  
var url:String = movieArray[index] + ‘.swf’;  
trace(“Attempting to load”, url);  
loader.load(new URLRequest(url));  
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderComplete);  
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO\_ERROR, loaderIOError);  
addChild(loader);

function loaderComplete(e:Event):void {  
trace(“Successfully loaded”, url);  
}  
function loaderIOError(e:IOErrorEvent):void {  
trace(“Failed to load”, url);  
}

essentially, I want to be able to load the movie with a button.
