This might be a totally retarded question but is there anyway of doing this type of function without having to make a button? What it does is the button link opens a new movie within the same container Right now this script works fine, but do I really need to make buttons for every single line of text that I want to link to another movie? I tryed just highlighting the different text and typing in the link but it either opened a new window or replaced everything with the content that was just suppose to be placed within the container. Sorry, I’m new to this. Thanks in advance.

on (release) {  
\_root.container.loadMovie(“newmovie.swf”, “container”);  
}
