Hope someone can help me with this one, cause it’s really annoying and I’ve been searching and testing for three days now :cry3:

Basically, I have a drop down menu consisting of buttons inside one movie clip, inside another animated movie clip which has a mask applied to it. I can’t get a Loader component to work with them:

menu\_mc.menuHover\_mc.history\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
pageLoader.contentPath =“history.swf”;  
}

I really hope someone can help!

EDIT: Nvm, found out a way. Basically just right-click on the button and go Actions and add:

on (release){  
\_root.pageLoader.contentPath =“history.swf”;  
}
