If you’re talking about a clip in an swf, that’s easy:  
put a stop at the open state where the content is displayed, then after that, add a tween to a minimized “icon” with another stop at the end, and when you press the button, clip.play and maybe also change its\_x and \_y if you need to move it somewhere…

If your question was s’thing else, re-explain…
