    Unhappy

    Hello,

    I am using load movie with a few swf files and the last one is not working.

    Here is my set up.

    -Container.swf which loads
    -movie1.swf in the moviePlaceholder
    -when button on movie1.swf is clicked:
    movie2.swf should get loaded into moviePlaceholder2
    which is on movie1.swf

    I can get movie1 to load into container and if I run movie1 by itself, movie2 loads into spot on movie 1 but when I run the whole things movie1 loads to container and that is all. Movie2 won't show.

    I used this in movie1 to load movie2.
    loadMovie ("movie2.swf", "_root.movieplaceholder2");
    also tried:
    loadMovie ("movie2.swf", "this.movieplaceholder2");


    This is driving me NUTS!

    Would it be easier to just make a function on container.swf that when called, makes movie1 go away and movie2 load in its holder spot? If so, any help on doing that or do I just use unload movie?

    Thanks!

    I am not sure if I understand you correctly but try this.

    I think you want to load movie2 into movieplaceholder2 which is in movie1 which is in container. If this is the case try using this code...

    loadMovie ("movie2.swf", _root.container.movie1.movieplaceholder2);

    It may work, it may not, at least I tried

    Thanks. I got it solved.

    I used

    this.movieplaceholder2.loadmovie("movie2.swf",2)

    Just needed to set it to another level and word differently.
