Buttons to play external swf files

Question

Hello
I know what to do but I do not know how to do it.
I want to make some tutorial movies available to users. I
have about 12 little swf files that were created in camtasia, I
would like to make them available though a single player instance.
Here is some AS2 I understand:
var btnLoadM1:mx.controls.Button;
//I know I can set the lable of the button, so I must be able
to set other attributes
btnLoadM1.label = "Name of Button";
var mcHolder:MovieClip;
var oLoader:Object = new Object();
oLoader.click = function(){
mcHolder.loadMovie("learning.swf");
mcHolder._x = btnLoadM1.width + 5;
mcHolder._y = 0;
mcHolder._xscale = 90;
mcHolder._yscale = 90;
btnLoadM1.addEventListener("click", oLoader);
This defines one button and loads a movie into a movie clip
when the button is selected. I want to take all of the specific
references in the oLoader out, but to have it play a movie which
has all of its parameters sent by the button which references the
movie.
I would like to extend this to include a link to a pdf file
which could also be made available at the same time as the relevant
movie was being played.
any help much appreciated

Yes...I have published the app and have tested with the same
result. I am relatively new to flash but have used the getURL
function in another app which worked. For some reason neither the
getURL function nor the MovieClip window object worked. Could this
be a scope problem? The code is included in a datagrid object
inside a slide of a multi-slide application.
