simple question I think

[four3shane]

I am using the

on(release){
loadMovie("mySwf.swf", myMC);
}

to load a swf file into a MC on my main stage. The problem is when I click the button for it to load, everything dissapears on my main stage except for the movie I called.

Why is this, and how can I fix it?

Thanks.

U need to use tell target and/or levels to show properly that movie inside main movie.

1.- create blank movie clip inside main movie and give a name to that blank movie using instance, for example suppose u name that blank movie "mytoy"


2- on the button action use tell target "mytoy" on the action to especify where ur movie mySwf.swf will be show

3.- maybe u need asign level 1, 2, 3

also possible you need give properties to blank movie
named mytoy

(just an example)

setProperty ("mytoy", _x, "-290");
setProperty ("mytoy", _y, "-174");


hope this is helpful for u...

you may want to do loadMovieNum and load it to a specific level... it may be 'on top' of other things...
