Creating Flash Pop-Up Windows with the attachMovie method - Page 2

2: Add a button to the main movie timeline to call the movie clip

The next step is to put a button on the stage to call your movie clip.

• Create a new button or pull an instance from the common library into your project. On the button, add the following ActionScript:

 
on (press) {
	     this.attachMovie("mypopmc", "window", 1);
	     window._x = 250;
	     window._y = 150;
}

In this code:

• mypopmc tells Flash which movie clip you want to pull from your project library. (Use the Identifier name you specified earlier.)
• window is the instance name you are assigning your movie clip once it is on the stage.
• 1 is the Flash Player level where you want to put the movie clip.
• _x and _y tell Flash where to put the instance on the stage.

Test your movie. You should now be able to open your pop-up window using your button on the stage.
