im trying to make it so when i click a button its loads a certain mc, then when i click it again, it unloads it, or a new one in its place. i know this can be done with swfs but is it possible with mcs?

erm...yes...

If you mean an MC in the same .swf where your button is, all your have to do is create this MC you want loaded, drop it onto the main stage and in the variable tab, write 'MC'. On your button, create an action which hides the variable 'MC' until it's clicked, and vice versa. I cant think of the script now but i will post it when i get home from work if you want...

This isone way of doing it...

-Make a new MC (or copy the one you have from an existing library), make all your animation stuff or whatever....

-Drop this MC onto the Main (scene 1) stage. In the instances tab, type in 'movie'

Now, on your button you want it to appear on, put this code..

on (release) {
_root.movie._visible = true;
}

This will make your MC appear. To make it dissapear, use the above code with 'false' instead of 'true'.

There are other ways like loading in external MC's with which you actually have more ease of use..look into getting an Actionscript book (I recommend Colin Mook's Actionscript)
