Load Movie Problem Help Please!!!!

[armvisual]

I have loaded an external swf into my timeline using a frame and this actionscript

createEmptyMovieClip("anim", 0);
//create a new but empty movie clip (anim)
anim.loadMovie("3DlikeNews.swf");
//load "3DlikeNews.swf" into the empty (anim) movie clip
anim._x = 0.5;
//Adjust the position of the imported "3DlikeNews.swf" file
anim._y = 320.5;

everything works good except the navigation does not work anymore when you go to this frame with the loader.

here is the url

If you click the news it loads a swf but all other buttons don't work. To I need to add an unload movie function.

you're setting the new movieclip to a level of 0 so it will replace everything. try this instead:

createEmptyMovieClip("anim", this.getNextHighestDepth());

This is a clip I bought from flashden and it seems like it is taking over the entire movie. I know it is something small and minor.

hmm ok. try this. right below
createEmptyMovieClip("anim", 0);

add

anim._lockroot = true;

if the clip you bought uses _root anywhere it will break upon being loaded, _lockroot will take care of that if it's the problem.

That didn't do the trick either. Can I send you the Fla? Once i know the problem I can help someone else. I am more a designer than action script but I know my way around the kitchen.
