i've loaded a swf into a mc but the swf does not animate, it works on it's own & works if i load it using levels (i need to manipulate it's props which is why i'm loading it in an mc).
i have in the mainmovie, an action layer & on the 1st kf i have load movie ("boo.swf","/stuff"). my confusion is, shouldn't the loaded movie automatically start playing? if not, do i call it into action by tell target and reference it using the instance name of the mc i loaded it into /stuff or ../stuff? does the loaded swf take on the instance name of the mc it is loaded into?
i'm punch drunk
thanks to all for your help
