FLASH: **** how do i turn a button in to a movie ***

[nickcalladine]

Hi I need a bit of how to knowledge here


I have a scene which has 6 buttons on it.  These buttons are placed 3 either side of the screen hanging off the edge. <the buttons will represent a graphical ticket>


the idea of the scene is when any of the 6 buttons are pressed that a movie clips plays


starting off with the position of the orginal 6 buttons and then having 5 pull away from the screen and the one selected will then travel in to the middle of the screen and then when in the centre of the screen move up.



my first problem is ..


I have placed the ticket button which i have created <6 of them> in to a frame on the main timeline 


*** is the best way to do it ***


my second problem is 


I have been able to have a button click and the movie start


*** but the orginal buttons are still there on the screen - how do i remove the so it looks like the movie clip has taken over ***


I am quite happy to send the fla file if u need to see it 


many thanks in advance for all tips links and help that people may provide..
