I’m pretty new to Flash and I’m using Flash MX 2004. So far I have the basic layout built and all the buttons made. What I need to do is make a movie clip play when its button is pressed (on the same screen, but off to the side or something). There are 5 different clips (other flash animations I’ve done exported as avi files). When the clips are playing I also need some info about it to pop up (maker, program used, etc). I hope I’m explaining this to an extent that someone can make out what this humble n00b is trying to accomplish, I will attach a picture as well (its not a screen shot of how my layout looks, I’d shoot myself if it was). I’ll be checking back throughout the day to see if anyone knows what I’m talking about, however I won’t have access to Flash then (won’t be at school).  
Thanks for the help!
