Anil, remember that the button itself is a child movie of the main
movie.  Using the keyword 'this' inside the button, means that 'this'
refers to the button, and not the main movie.

Thus the movie you load in actually replaces the button ( movie ).
Since the button is no longer there, any code associated with it
has also been wiped out.  That is why it doesn't work.

Yes, but, you could also include the code for the button in the movie
you are loading in.

You could even create a button movie and load that in.

Ok. Will do so later.  Watch this space.
