RE: FLASH: Double click required to load movie

[Gavin Prior]

one way would be to put "intro.swf" as a variable in your button;

> On (Release)

      Set Variable: "MovieToLoad" = "intro.swf"

>       Go to and Stop ("intro")  

> End On

> 

and then at "intro" when your tabs are reordered do the load

movie("/:MovieToLoad",1)


Don't know if it would work, cos I haven't got time to test it - sorry, but

it would accomplish both with one mouse click .. .

have fun !
