Hello Dudes and Dudettes,

When I click on my button, I want it to  
make several things in my movieClip.

Is this type of code a good idea?

# ===================================== on (release) { loadMovieNum(“swf/portfolio.swf”, 1); gotoAndStop(“bt4”); unloadMovieNum(2); \_root.main.gotoAndStop(“off”); }

Thanks!

yeah, it’s absolutely ok! Why type it all out every time, when you  
can capsulate it all at once. Looks good.

Fun indeed! :beam:

Hello Dudes, 🙂

Thanks for the tip!

Yes, ActionScript is cool!  
PHP is great too!

Have a nice day!
