hi,
not clear to me is, if you are using scenes as 'scene' in flash
authoring, or you just call it scenes. Anyway, the rest of the story,
loadMovieNum, and use of MovieClips, sounds good. The most simple way to
do this, would be, to put the loadMovieNum action inside the movieclip,
on its last frame. So, the button plays the movieclip, and the movieclip
takes care of loading.
hth,
