Hi, I have a movie with a button, which when I press, I want to load another movie on its last frame, not the first.

I am using the loadmovienum command, but don't know how to get action script to jump to frame number - x.

Can anyone help?

Go to the Movie Clip's timeline, and on the first frame type:

gotoAndStop(x);

Ok, so if you have two buttons, you press one and it goes to the first frame, and if you press the other one it goes to the last frame in this other movie clip? I'm not really understanding, because if you loadmovie, it should start from the first frame, and not the last. To make it go to the last, you would use gotoAndStop(); command. Instead of the loadmovie command try using this. On the main timeline, add this when the button is pressed.

_root.attachMovie(idName, newName, depth);

I'm getting there! lol. Well, ok. You have an introduction...is that placed into a move clip or is that just on the main timeline? Then you have two moveclips: mc1 and mc2. On frame 21 you load mc1, but when a button is pushed you want mc2 loaded on frame 21 as well? I'd like to contact you via MSN, AIM, or YIM if that would be ok. I'm not understanding and I'm thinking that by those messengers I can help better. So then we can talk about it and I can help you faster, instead of going day-by-day with unanswered questions.
