I’m trying to create a web menu. I have 8 page buttons. 3 of the page buttons load different .swf files onto the background. 5 of the page buttons load the same .swf onto the background (“image.swf”). I don’t want the background to reload every time I press 1 of these buttons. I need a script that says something like this… on (release) { if “image.swf” is loaded into “blank\_mc” movieclip, then do nothing. if “message.swf” is NOT loaded into “blank\_mc” movieclip, then do this -\> blank\_mc.loadMovie (“message.swf”); } I hope you can understand:blush:
