Re: FLASH: A Variety of Questions

[Dorian Nisinson]

Hi Rachel,

	Levels relate to the use of the Load Movie action. When you have a swf

movie load another swf file you get to specify on which level above the

loading movie's level it will be placed. The main movie is always on

level 0 and each movie it loads through a load movie command is placed

on a level above that one.  When you want to unload a movie all you have

to specify in the unload movie action is the level number, because only

one movie is allowed per level. The highest level number is on top of

the stack of loaded movies. The lowest movie number 0 is on the bottom.

	A few key points about load movie levels; when you specify the level in

the load/unload action, the word level must be preceded by an

underscore.  ex:  _level 20.

	 The main movie on level 0 controls the stage size of any movie it

loads, and the movie that is loaded has no real background stage of its

own. Where ever the loaded movie has empty space, the movie on a lower

level will show through. 

	Hope this helps.
