flash actionscript: :confused;

Thank you for reading!

I have a loader that loads external jpgs with button presses. works fine

I would also like the loader to load am image when it reaches a frame label,
just as if I have pressed the button on that frame.

The way I thought to be simple didn't work. I may have done this wrong, and
the complex method had its own complexities.

This is one of those cases where people like to make it far more complex than
it is and they end up psyching themselves out.

Anything that you do in a button:

myButton.onRelease=function(){
trace("hello");
}

Can be done without any user intervention or on a frame by just putting a
keyframe on the frame you want and putting the code without the onRelease event
handler:

trace("hello");

That is all it takes. It really couldn't be any simpler.

Thank you, and yes you are so right. I was experiencing complications with two
loaders in the same swf both loading external jpgs from the same folder that
were clashing. I brought them into levels and realized there would be an action
script tie-in placed in other swfs related to the project to remove them from
the stage once a new swf loaded for a page change. My goal was to keep the
script independant and have all files manage their own affairs for a better
overall use. Taking a step back solved the problem.

Thank you for taking the time to address something simple.
