Hello, I am having trouble getting an action to work. I have uploaded a couple of movies, 1 scene each of about 200k.On the last frame of the 1st movie Ihave a button that's supposed to take the user to the 2nd movie, but it just repeats the 1st. The action is-on release go to and play frank.html. I have tried .swf and load movie but load movie is a bit confusing The 1st box is url and I'm already on one. Is load movie the right action? I don't want links to appear on the pages. I am using Flash 5. Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks

you cant go to and play an html file... just a scene or frame

you must use getURL ("frank.html");

loadmovie is perfect coz with it u r able to load a movie while another is still playing.
just do the following:

in the movie to load, place a stop action in the first frame and don't show anything.
the next 3 frames r the standard preloader checking if frame 4 was loaded and if so jumping to frame 5.
frame 4 is filled with all movieclips u use in that movie this frame noone is going to c.

no after the first film has loaded. tell it to load the second at a higher level (noone is going to notice coz the second is going to stop playing immedeatly..
the on yar button just place the action gotoandplay an empty frame with these commands
_levelx.gotoandplay(2); // x is the level yar movie was loaded and frame 2 u remember was the preloader.
stop();
