This is from the “Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects” tutorial on this site.  
I want this “movieclip button” to load a .swf movie instead of “getURL” in a main website, but I dont know how to properly use loadMovie, or if I can even use it in this situation. Will I have to convert everything into actual buttons?

I would appreciate any help you can give me on this. Thank you.
