[font=verdana,arial,helvetica][size=1] [/size][/font]I have a little problem:  
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2]  
I have a menu. In the menu there’s different mc’s. If you click one of them there should load a movie in a mc in the main page.

How do I do that?[/size][/font]

**Ordinathorreur**

This is a new problem doing another site. I don’t know how to load a movie clip in the main scene, from a movieclip placed on it. So when you cleck the button in the movieclip, it has to load something outside itself.

Is this possible?

OK, you need to brush up relative paths.

Have a look at this tutorial, it will explain a lot of concepts.
