RE: [flasher] Re: load movie on top

[Suzanne Harmon]

Thanks so much for your reply. However, I have tried both methods. The

first, loading the movie into level 1 works fine except I cannot control

it's position on the stage. Using the second method, loading a movie clip

instance, replaces the main movie. What am I doing wrong?


Regards,

Suzanne Harmon

You have to load it in a higher level. The main movie is _level0 - when you

load another movie in that level, it replaces the main

movie.

You can set that in the loadmovie parameters in the actionscript window.

This will load a movie into _level1:


loadMovieNum ("your-movie.swf", 1);


You can also load an external movie in a target Movieclip. Instead of the

level, you then use the movieclips instance name (in this

case: target_mc) as the target.


loadMovie ("your-movie.swf", "target_mc");
