Very Basic Question - Button

[FlashN00b1e]

Hi,

I really am my handle. I've been working out of the 'Flash 8 in 24 hours' book and I've gotten to the 'loading movies or images' section. I've re-done the example excercise a few times and I can't seem to get a movie (or image) to load when the button's clicked.

I've placed all the files in the same directory and the code is as follows:

In the button
on(click){
_root.theLoader_mcl.loadClip("pic.jpg","theClip_mc");
}

In the document
theLoader_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();

I verified that I named the box correctly as theClip_mc

Can anyone see what I'm goofing?

I did some scanning around the forum and found this code (which works)

on (release) {
_root.theClip_mc.loadMovie("pic.jpg");
}

But being new, I'm still not sure why the method I listed in my first post didn't work.

Try what you had originally with on(press) or on(release) instead of on(click)
