can u load a movie from a button ?, ie i have a button which plays a movieclip while in the up position but i would like on mouse roll over to loadmovie and then stop on mouse rolloff .. .. ?? any suggestions ??

i have this on the button on the main TL ::

on (rollOver) {
loadMovie ("mp.swf", "menu1");
}

but menu1 is an instance IN the button , does this matter ??
or do i need to add extra code so theat instance is found ??

thanks

I think you need to launch the movie in an area outside of the button. If you created a "window" to play the movie in, you should be able to launch it there. But inside the button I am not sure of. Try it outside of the button and see what happens.

Also, try out Swift 2.0 and you'll get a better understanding of how Flash works. It's a killer app and it's helped me allot. It's a free trial and is only like 45 bucks to register.

As a matter of fact, I think that I would be much better off actually tackling Flash now that I've played with Swift.

Also, http://www.flashkit.com is THE place to go if you have questions. bookmark it NOW mister. :)
