The most important thing when loading external data, is the route you place your files in the server´s root directory.
Lets imagine taht your main movie is called one.swf, and you want to load second.swf file in it. first place both swf files in the same directory (folder)
then choose a momento to load second.swf, lets say you want to do it, when you enter frame number 56. so in it, open the action panel and write

COLOR=blue]loadMovieNum("second.swf", 0);[/COLOR]

just when enters that frame it will load the external swf file.

if by any chance you need to place it into an specific position in your stage, create a destination clip called target
and on the properties panel, put as instance name target.

then on the desired frame write the following actionscript:

loadMovie("second.swf", "target");

on the droplist select destiny instead of level, if u dont, it will open the movie in a new browser window


any doubts, .....???? post reply me!

good luck
