    How do I implement downloaded files? Help please! :o(

    Have only started using Flash MX over the last couple of weeks and have only just come on to this website for the first time.

    My question is, how do I implement a file downloaded from the gallery into my Flash file? I've downloaded a Old Scratchy Film movie to overlay on my movie, but it doesn't animate. The SWF file is in my library and I really don't know what to do with it?

    Not familiar with that one, but if you downloaded a swf and not a fla, then it's probably meant to be used with loadMovie. Meaning you load it into your main move, probably on a layer or level above everything else.

    Open a new fla and add this to the first frame in the timeline:

    loadMovieNum("scratchy.swf", 1);

    Use the name of the swf, instead of scratchy, and make sure that swf is in the same folder as the fla your working on. It should load.
