Load movie through a button in Animate CC?

[agnestheo]

Let's say I have this button that when I click it, it loads an SWF file I targeted.

I know there is some ways to do this (by linking the button to a scene where it has the loadMovie script there using Go to Scene And Play), but is there another way to do it with just putting a loadMovie script in the button itself?

I tried using the ones from the code snippets and put it in the button, but it didn't work at all. It seems like you need a different codes for that.

I hope you can help me. Thank you!

OS: Windows 10

Program: Adobe Animate CC 2017

you can't attach code to buttons.  you can attach code to a timeline that references that button.

var loader:Loader=new Loader();

var urlR:URLRequest=new URLRequest('path/filename.swf');

yourbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,loadF);

function loadF(e:MouseEvent):void{

loader.load(urlR);

addChild(loader);

}
