Hi there,
I'm having a problem with buttons and I was wondering if someone could take a look at my flash if I uploaded it.

* some of you may have taken a look at my flash piece before as my friend posted a few questions for me when my net was down. ;)

Anyway I have two seperate problems with flash.. i'll try and explain here.

Problem 1.

I have a movie clip that plays when a button is clicked. This all works fine.
The problem occurs with buttons that I placed inside this movie clip. The movie clip is a scrunched up piece of paper and it plays to the point of the paper opening up. Here there are 5 different buttons which are set up to play 5 different movie clips (i.e each button plays a different movie). Now I've set up 4 out of the 5 so far and only 2 play. (sooo annoying) I'm not sure what's wrong with them as i've set them up like the other two buttons.

Problem 2.

This is again button related LOL. I guess I should maybe avoid buttons eh? :p
This problem is simple (i think). This involves one of the movie clips mentioned above. I want this movie play as normal but I want to have buttons inside the movie clip that when clicked on play different movie clips. It's sounding complicted now but basically I have a movie clip with a crowd of people standing and I want buttons over their faces so that when you click on the buttons each button plays an additional movie clip.

I don't think this makes any sense now, but if anyone is willing to take a look at my flash and possibly help I'd be really really thankful as i'm about to throw my laptop out the window if i don't get it sorted soon!!!:eek::eek:

YES!!! That's exactly what I want... how did you do that? What was I doing wrong?
;)

Can you explain to me which AS I need to make the buttons play when clicked (ie. how you set up my sometimes movie clip to play- problem one) and also what AS I need to make the movie clip play inside this move clip (i.e the quote movie clip play inside the sometimes movie clip).
I need to see up more quote to play on rollover inside the sometimes movie clip and I also need to set up the emaining two buttons on my paper movie clip.

Thank you sooo much!
