combining 3 movies into one

[jacques]

:esmirk: Hello all,

I have 3 flash movies. Each has its own music. Now i want to combine those 3 movies into one flash file. How do I do that? It is a wedding flash movie for my sister. i have 3 separate movies because i want the music to synchronize with the each of the movie. Thanks in advance.

how about loading the 3 separate movies into a main.swf?

loadMovie("definePathToMovieHere.swf", "_root.placeHolderFor3Movies")

with a nice preloader:

sorry if you mean something else..

Thanks for the tips. My movies names are a1, a2, and a3. So do I have to have 3 loadmovie commands in the main movie? What I like to do is to have those movies running continuously. In other words if the user watch my movie, he/she only sees it as one movie.
thanks

do you still have the original .fla files and are they all the same size?

maybe you mean you are having sychronizing issues.. be sure to set the "sync:" method (a pulldown-menu-item in the properties panel) to "stream"
