To anyone who can help this newbie :)

Here is my problem:

I want to create an intro screen using and external Flash file (.swf) to run on top of the current background. In the external clip I have an Anim-FX clip with a transparent background.

My background movie has multiple layers that is transitioning (fading) and I use the loadmovie method to bring the external move on the stage. On the top layer I create a movie container to hold the external movie (.swf)

I don't want to use a button to fire the instance I want it to start at a certain frame when it reaches the action script: loadmove("external.swf", movieMC); movieMC is my instance to hold the external flash clip.

For some reason this does not work. Can anyone shed a light on this cause honestly I don't have a clue... I'm really new to this stuff. Give me C++ VB++ ASM I can do it.. lol...

Thanks in advance to you all. Great Forum BTW!!
