Ⓜ

So you’re trying to add the actions to the same button?  
[AS]on (rollOver) {  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“square.swf”);  
}  
on (release) {  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“p1.swf”);  
}[/AS] :huh:

on (release) {  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“blink.swf”);  
}  
on (release) {  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“s1.swf”);  
}

did not work? why is that so?

Try:[AS]on (release) {  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“blink.swf”);  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“s1.swf”);  
}[/AS]I think you’re gonna have to load em’ on seperate levels so that the first one isn’t replaced by the second one… assuming that this is what you want. :h:
