Re: FLASH: Loading a .swf in a Flash Movie...

[Karin Christensen]

No wonder it doesn't work.  Is OHGwelcome a movie clip or a swf?  It

looks like it is a movie clip.  If you are calling a movie clip in

frame one which does not exist until frame 20 then it will not work.

The movie clip must reside in the same frame number as the action

calling it.  It is hard to tell you what is wrong when your

information is confusing.  If OHGwelcome is a swf then you need to use

load movie.  You would not place it on the stage.
