Hello My name is Saqib, Im making a Flash map. I need to call a movie clip from the menu of the cities, that is an external file an swf. when i click on the country in the menu, the country on the map in the other swf file should show some transion like Blinking. I formed a movieclip of such transion in the map file. Now how can i call that movie clip from the menu swf file.
i want to add that code in the body of on(release) function against each country button.
I need to click the button and play the movie clip on the other file that is attached to it.

Please help me ASAP.

This is what you can do

Select the button that you want.
Open the Behavior Panel.
Click on the Plus sign (+) and select Web then select Go to URL:
A Go to URL box will open
Fill in the info. and click ok.

PS there is another method buts its a little more complex using the actions.
open actions and click the Plus sign (+) select Global Functions, Browser Network. You will see a list that you can chose to use. You will need to play with these.
