I am no AS pro; I'm all about the time-line.......... I was wondering if there
was an easy way to do this.

I have 5 buttons that appear at the end of my flash movie; They each have
their own destination (URL) however I would like to show a movie clip (same
movie clip on each) before going to their destination..... I don't want to
have to embed this video 5 times on the timeline; is there a way to do
something to this effect:

If option 1 - play movie1 then goto URL1
If option 2 - play movie1 then goto URL2
If option 3 - play movie1 then goto URL3
If option 4 - play movie1 then goto URL4

Etc....... hopefully I'm making sense here.

Thanks

yes, using an if statement along with an interval will do the trick. The reason I say use an interval is so that it will show the movie clip for a set amount of time then go to the URL.
