I have a mc playing on a level that I want to load another mc on to when I press a button, how do I get the first mc to play an animation that looks like it did when it loading on. The animation is a motion tween.

Hi,

Send the playhead to that frame and play.

If the second one replacing the first one?  
if so:

BUTTON:  
on(press){  
pressed=1;  
yourContainer.gotoAndPlay(“startingFrame”);  
}  
FINAL FRAME OF ANIMATION:  
if(pressed){  
this.loadMovie(“nameOfJpg.jpg”);  
pressed = 0;  
}

if not:

BUTTON:  
on(press){  
yourContainer.gotoAndPlay(“startingFrame”);  
yourSecondContainer.loadMovie(“nameOfJpg.jpg”);  
}

Cheers
