"Hey CL!... not quite 23 seconds, but you always seem a step faster than me."

hey Ned - you saw that eh LOL!!! ;)

thank you very much NedWebs that works great

sorry I'm so tierd I forgot to say thanks for the replys in my last post
thanks for the replies I'm going to bed will try on fresh mind tommorrow
good night sincerely newwave
ps here is my latest try

var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var stage2:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("stage2.swf");
loader.load(stage2);
addChild(loader);

Loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
function loadComplete():LoaderInfo {
loader.stage2.obj1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myClick);
}

it's an external swift with one library button allready placed on stage and given instance name obj1

never played with loaderinfo
I tried these am I on the right track? allthough I get errors

function getLoaderInfoByDefinition(object:Object):LoaderInfo{
stage2.obj1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myClick);
}

and this
loader.stage2.obj1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myClick);

You probably need to have a listener for the Loader so that you aren't trying to assign the obj1 listener before it's arrived.

I'm not sure if the button is loaded from the library between your saying that the swf has no script and the button is exported for actionscript, but if it is, you may need a tad more time for that as well? (I'm not sure on that aspect)

Hey CL!... not quite 23 seconds, but you always seem a step faster than me.

you'll need to use a LoaderInfo object and the init handler here and place the addEventListener within the handler. the reason is that one cannot apply the handler to an object that does not yet exist - it must be loaded and instantiated on the timeline before you can do so.
