you can’t load a new html and go somewhere in the original swf.

Not sure what exactly you are trying to do here?

No problem at all, let’s say you have a timeline, and in that timeline you have a movieclip with your animation you want to play, and your button. The movieclip has the instance name ‘mc’ for example and button has ‘btn’.

The first frame of that movieclip is empty and has a stop action, otherwise you’d already see a part of the animation and it’d play already. Don’t think you’re wrong when your first frame isn’t empty, that’d be because you already want people to see the a bit, and then animate it on roll over of the button. Ok.

Place this on your button:

```auto

on(rollOver){
_parent.mc.play();
}
on(release){
getURL("main.html","_self")
}

```

or you could get the new html to load from frame 1 on the movie that you are getting the button to run!

As a frame play action and not a button event action
