Has anyone tried the 'target' option for Load Movie from Flash 4?

I'm a little confused by this new option and wondering if the new movie then

does actually share the library and also does it load onto a new level or

not? If not, then the mac/msie 4.5 thing wouldn't be a problem? I'm not sure

how exactly this differs from replacing one movie clip with another within

the same movie? I don't know, I'm just kind of confused :) Any information

appreciated.


Also, something a little strange... I was using the trial version of Flash

4, and went ahead and bought the electronic download (upgraded the trial as

it were) today. My default browser is set to NN (I'm on a mac, what can I

say ;) and using the trial, the help files came up in NN, but now that I

actually own it, the help files are coming up in MSIE and I can't really

figure out why...
