I've got this button that when released starts the same timeline and stops
at a frame label. In the 'stop' frame I put a empty clip on stage and tried
to LoadMovieNum from on the timeline key. It doesn't work.

What did work is on release goto frame label, loadmovie, level 5.

I've got a lot of image buttons. When one is released all buttons convey
down out of site, the blank real estate that opens up is where I want the
load movie to appear.

I'm no actionscript dude but I get around.

To see what I'm after check out http://www.law-co.com/portfolio.html

After the button page conveys down out of sight, do I put an action on a key
on the timeline to loadmovieNum? What's the code, including the level
please.
