Hey everyone,

I wish to load a movie in a placeholder on the timeline. However the movie is not activated by a button simply it plays a few frames after some text fades.

What action script do I need. If I put in loadmovienum I need to have an on release etc? But in this case I simple want the film to play rather then being activated to play.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

George
