[b][MX] HELP! Game Interface Trouble![/b]

Hello. My problem is actually quite sad really...
I've created a movie clip. This clip acts sorta like a button, as I made it open and close with this code:

_root.playbutton.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(1);
};

And To close:

_root.playbutton.onRollOut = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(7);
};

It expands and closes, but now I need it to go to the second frame of the movie when I click on it.

I've tried this:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

But every time I do that it plays the button/movieclip thing:yikes:
Is there a global variable for the whole movie?

Lastly, I already started the game, so what's the best way to make a loader for it?

Thanks,

Where did you place the on(release) code? If it's a button there should not be a problem. Try _root.gotoAndPlay(2). As for the preloader you can download this one. Just change it visually.

Ungh. I cant read that one, Might be newer version? I have an oldie flash 6, as I was too cheap to buy the new one. BTW I did try the _root.gotoAndPlay(2) thing on the button but it still goes to frame 2 of the button. >.<

lol, that preloader was originally in flash mx and I just made it to an f8 file. Here's a new one. It's strange that _root doen't work there, can you post your file, or an example just to see if there's something to do?

Thanks, I've Managed to get the loader to work, I'll be implementing it soon.
Heres the sandbox of the interface version, I'm kinda new at flash so it's rudimentary. See what you can do. The problem is with the play button.
