loading 2 seperate movies into a blank movie

[sparklehorse]

can some flash master figure this one out?

I have a main movie with a blank movie called "blankclip" to load movies into. I have a frame where the movie stops which has a layer which loads the "menustrips.swf" animation in the main movie:

_root.blankclip.loadMovie("menustrips.swf");

and also another layer/frame which loads "kanim.swf" which is also an animation

_root.blankclip.loadMovie("kanim.swf");

My problem is that only one of the movies load?

How can I load both these movies in my movie?

thanks

i think your problem is that you are loading 2 .swf's into the same instance of 'blankclip' - so the second one is just displacing the first.

load 'menustrips.swf' into an instance called 'blackclip' (just like you have it now). drag another instance of your blank MC onto the stage and call it 'blankclip2' - then load 'kanim.swf' into it.

that may be the fix

Thanks heaps nordberg for that worked perfect.
The only thing is now is how do I unload the "menustrips.swf" movie situated in blankclip2 on a button click?
this is what I tried my but it didn't work.


on (release) {
_root.blankclip.loadMovie("kwatch.swf");
_root.blankclip2.unloadMovie("menustrips.swf");
}

the "_root.blankclip.loadMovie("kwatch.swf");" is loading a new movie into the blankclip and replacing the "kanim.swf" movie and that works fine but just unloading the "menustrips.swf" clip I'm not sure about?
