dont want a second scene 1

[natedeia]

i just want to have an animation play each time loadmovie but do not want to increace each movie by having this thing added to each movie clip.
any advice?
it is not a preloader.
a separate movie clip loaded just before each loadmovie, after this thing plays it's 5 frames i want the origional intended movie clip to be loaded.
thanks in advance!

Well then your buttons should only set a variable (the name of the movie to be loaded) and then only call the 5 frames movie clip. It's the clip that should hold the action to actually load the movie according to the variable set by each button's press, when it's done with.

Basically the technique used here (without the preloader bit if you don't want that!)... The doors closing bit is the same as your transition...
