    For a pop up window:

    http://www.flash-db.com/PopUp/

    Load external .swf

    Example This loadMovie statement is attached to a navigation button labeled Products. There is an invisible movie clip on the Stage with the instance name dropZone. The loadMovie action uses this movie clip as the target parameter to load the products in the SWF file, into the correct position on the Stage:

    Code:
    on(release) {
    	loadMovie("products.swf",_root.dropZone);
    }

    In addition, I found a preloader - I think on this site - that I modified. You can grab a copy at:

    After the preloader is a button. Press this button and it will load a swf called mymovie.swf. You should be able to figure it out from there.

    What I posted does exactly what you stated. Did you try?

    If you can't figure it out, post your file some place I can dl it. If it's less than 1mb, email it to me:

    Okay:

    But, your swf doesn't seem to work correctly after being imported. Without the fla, you may not be able to do this.
