Your question is a little unclear to me, but here's what I think might help.

After creating your button, double click on it and go to the actions tab.

Click the + sign and add a go to action. On the right hand side you will have a bunch of options (go to frame, go to go to label, go to next frame, etc...) Select "go to frame" and insert the frame number of where you want the movie to start playing.

Make sure to check the "control: go to and play" box at the bottom of the window.


Hope this helped... if I'm way off, just give me a little more info and I'll give it another try.

Regards,

Logan

hi ranma!
i think this might be what you are looking for.
1. on your main timeline put a movie clip in the position you want your swf to come in. 2. give the movie clip an instance name. 3. double click on your button you want to activate this movie, and go to the actions. 4. use the following action script:

On(press)
Load Movie("swf name","mc instance name")
End On

on right side of tha window:
1. Action: load movie into location
2. URL: enter swf name
3. Location: enter mc instance name

entering these action scripts will enter the info be the parents on the left side.

that should be it
good luck, hope it helped

ok! I think I know what you want.

1,create two empty movieclip, and drag them into scene.
2,give them instance name each
3,load the mov1.swf into one empty target
4,load the mov2.swf into another
5,The position of empty targets is where mov1.swf,mov2.swf playing

hope this help!

[Ranma]

thanks man but could you tell me the code 4 the tell target part ?

Thanks again

hi ranma-
if you are loading swf into movie clips on the stage, you don't use the tell traget script, you use the load movie script. if you look at the code i wrote for you along with what nbell is saying, you should be all set. try it, see if it works.

Thaks to all of you
