Re: FLASH: Please help. Is this a stupid question?

[Karin Christensen]

When you load into target the swf becomes a child of the mc target.

You need to include the instance name of the mc in many of the

pathways of the swf actions like you would if it were a nested mc.  I

think the only advantage to loading into target is that you can use

swfs that are smaller in physical size.  After trying load into target

in several experiments I can't see an advantage over just using load

and unload movie.  For one thing it isn't straightforward to unload a

movie that is loaded into target let alone the pathway problems.
