Hi
Try doing this

loadMovie ("movie.swf", "a");

Where the movie you are loading is movie.swf
And the clip which you are loading the movie in has an instance name "a"

Hope this helps

Actually what I Want is to do load a external movie into a movie clip....
And in my movie clip I have one button which has certain functionalities and will be common to all movies..... that will be loaded with few butoons....

So basically I want the external movie be loaded an my existing button of the movie should remain thier,

My external movie's size is smaller than the My movie clip's .. so that the external movie should stay in the middle thank you..

I sent you the file ..
whats happening with your code is :when u are loading in clip1 ..it takes up all the properties of clip1 and hence your movieclip dissapears. but if u go inside clip1 and place another movieclip say clip2 inside it and load the .swf in this second clip
on (release) {
loadMovie ("1.swf", "clip1.clip2");
}

YOur problem will be solved

Hope this solves the problem

Hi
I think u r created movie ok.
Think it 1.swf and you want to load movie 2.swf ok.
Just u creat one button in movie 1.swf at bottom and write in action

OnRelase()
{
loadmovie("2.swf",1);

}
first parameter takes movie file name
second parameter takes level.
i.e. Priority which as to show first level.
foe example
1.swf having 0 level
2.swf having 1 level
like go on
if 5th level movie loaded, we are not unloaded and we loaded 2nd level movie i.e. 2.swf ,5th level movie over lap movie 2nd level we can't see movie at all.
i think u will understand
