    DESPERATLY need help

    i am having sooooo much trouble with the loadmovie thing, even after sharedobject tried to help me. I am trying to make it so my homepage "xtc_home.swf" links to another page "xtc_home_websites.swf" using a button called "websites button" and the instance of the button is called "websites 1" this is the code i have so far, but i have no idea what the target is supposed to be, so pleas help.

    on (release) {loadMovie("xtc_home_websites.swf",,_self);

    all i need to know is what the target should be, or what i am doing wrong, please please please help.

    Thanks

    I told you _self is not right.

    Target must be a movie clip container to load the movie into it:

    on (release) {
    loadMovie("xtc_home_websites.swf","_root.container _mc");
    }

    Or try a level:

    on (release) {
    loadMovieNum("xtc_home_websites.swf",5);
    }

    Or:

    Attach your fla in MX format not MX2004.
