Hiya Judy,


"load movie" places movies on top of each other like layers. _0level would be the

bottom layer

_1level would be the next layer and so on. Animation fps and movie size is

controlled by the 0level movie.


Say you had a movie on the 0level that was 800x600 and another movie on 1level at

400x300,

it will appear in the top left hand corner of the 800x600 0level movie.


IMO, its better in most cases to create all movies the same size if you plan on

using "load movie"

feature.  If the whole site is done in Flash, forget frames and use a navigation

bar on the 0level movie

to control "load movies" on different levels.
