Hi,

What I usually do is create an empty movieclip, and load my external one inside that. This is handy as I can just move the containerMC where ever I want and the external SWF always loads in.

Create an empty movieclip, drag it onto the stage and give it an instance name...something like 'containerMC'. Then the AS would be...


loadMovie("security.swf", containerMC);

Hope that helps!

Try to add a higher depth? Or use .swapDepth(depth); function...

That can get quite messy when you start to copy and paste new objects on the stage...every object is on its own depth so when those change you'll have to go back and change the code again.

ActionScript Code:

loadMovie("security.swf", containerMC);

and how would you do this with a roll over action of btn_mc0

[lewi-p]

btn_mc0.onRollOver = function() {
loadMovie("security.swf", containerMC);
}
