here's the scenario...

i have some points on the stage that are buttons. it's the same button, re-used from the library, but each button has a different release action attached. for example:

Code:
//point 1 looks like this
on (release) {
     getURL("mypage.php?id=1");
}

//point 2 looks like this
on (release) {
     getURL("mypage.php?id=2");
}

//etc...
obviously, when the page reloads do to the getURL command, the flash movie will reload as well. the last button clicked is stored in the address as the variable id. if id=3, i know the 3rd point was clicked, etc... i'm wanting the flash movie to represent that.

my idea is to have the points "blink". the best way i know to have this happen, is to place the button inside of a movie clip. on frame 2 of the movie clip would simply be a movie loop of the point "blinking". so i want a way to change that point to a "blinking" state based on what id is set to. if id=1, i want point 1 to blink. etc...
