Opening an swf with an URL offline is not possible. You should test 

by simply fil in mymovie.swf in the geturl place.When you're ready to 

upload than fill in the full url pad.

Try to open another movie in another frame is not somthing that will 

work. Try load movie or target movie in an different level than the 

movie with the button. Say this is on level0 you load the movie in 

level1 than you will see the button. Load the movie in the same level 

and the first movie unloads.


 and another problem I am haveing is

Import png files, jpg files these will import without red square.

When you create a symbol of the imported bitmap leave the original in 

the library.

Hopes this helpes
