    This is how you'll want to do it:

    MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop(btnArray[i][1]);


    edit: This is assuming you're not messing with multiple scenes.

    gotoAndStop(btnArray[i][1]);

    I would store all the buttons/movieclips in an Array and use that to pair up appropriate labels/strings. This way, you only have to build one array. Contrary to Ralgoth's suggestion, I would use just...

    The easiest (if not best) approach:

    Put all your movieclips into an array


    var mcArray:Array=[mc1,mc2,mc3];

    Yes, you will need to convert the bitmap to a MovieClip before you can assign it an instance name and manipulate it with ActionScript. If your knowledge of Flash and ActionScript is nil, I would...

    This is a pretty involved answer, but yes it's possible with server-side scripting (PHP or ASP, for example), a place to store the images server-side, as well as a very good understanding of the...

    I haven't done anything with CS4, but if the export-to-video is like it has been in the past, then Flash won't export anything that isn't on the main timeline. All embedded animation are lost,...

    This will provide you with a framework, and it's an easy-to-follow tutorial. After you've done it, it's just a matter of adjusting the code to make it more Barnes-and-Noble-esque.
