i think the easiest way for you to do this, (but might not necessarily result in the smallest file size), would be to make your movie and either a) make it a symbol with the first keyframe blank. then, on your button, you put the action 'on press>go to and play>symbol' (<-don't copy & paste that! if you've got your actions window on normal - not expert - those fields will be pretty easy to fill in!). in your symbol, make sure to put a 'go to>frame 1>& stop', or else the symbol will loop.

OR

you could do roughly the same thing, but with a different scene.

personally, i'd have the movie clip, depending on it's size, externally linked...but i won't be able to explain it to you until the 2nd week of august. big perm and case and i think axoi are all a bit flashy, so see if you can hit them up for proper advice. what you want is TOTALLY do-able though.

pm me if you need more insane ramblings.

luck!

Thanks very much, your suggestion worked marvelously darling. You should start taking a cut off of all of these peoples salaries that you help out on a daily basis. You could be the Mo Green of the graphic design world.


Thanks again.

Match in the gas tank, boom boom.
