.swf in .fla playing as a movie

[hexler98]

Hi. I have a scene. I want a .swf to play in the scene. The .swf has already been created and I want to mask the .swf. Is this possible? I try importing the .swf in my library but when I drop it into the stage, it doesn't play the .swf movie. Hope this makes sense. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks much.

you will need to "import" your SWF at run-time by using the actionscript loadMovie("filename.swf", levelYouWantToLoadItIn) ...

then I would suggest using a pseudo mask on a layer above where you loaded the swf..
