</div>

but.onPress = function () {  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);  
loadMovie(“loaded.swf”, “container”);  
container.\_x = 150 ;  
container.\_y = 20 ;  
}

The above code works great to create empty movie clips on the fly, but I’m having a problem with my scenes.

Once I click on a button, the movie clip will play fine. But when I click on something else, the movie clip keeps playing. And then everything becomes a mess…

Can anyone help me out?  
tks

Don’t recreate your clip with every press, try this instead… (don’t know if it will work, it is untested and it is 1am, and I am tired…lol.

```auto
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);

```

```auto
but.onPress = function () {
loadMovie("loaded.swf", _root.container);
_root.container._x = 150 ;
_root.container._y = 20 ;
}

```

Well, the movie clips go on playing until you tell them to stop, Bellir. Either by stopping them, or removing them.
