  hello all,

  i'm just learning flash and have a pretty simple question!

  i have a movie clip named "test1" in my library

  i want to call it onto the stage with a button.

  is this possible or does it have to be on the stage with a blank frame keeping it invisible.

  on (release){
  _root.test1.gotoAndPlay("open")
  }

  that is what i'm using to command a clip already on the stage.

  i've also used the load movie function before, but that seems like it can be a little glichy?

  any help would be appreciated.

  thanks

  Right-click on the item in the library and select linkage properties. Then give it a identifier(instance name, after checking "export for actionscript".

  i would give it an instance name, in frame one of your actions set it to invvisible and then in the button action script set it to visible on the release command. hope that helps.
