Flash 5 Help

[DrumminBoy]

I have a preloader and a play button on my flash movie, but I'd like to make it so the button pops up after everything finishes loading. As it is now, the movie automatically starts playing once it loads. Anyone know how to do it? I'm new to flash and I'm just trying to learn, thanks

when u first start your movie have a lip of the "play" button and set its visible property to false

for the movie your loading (Assuming its a myClip.loadMovie?)

you should be able to go:

myClip.onLoad = function() {
playButton._visible = true;
}
