button action open a swf?

Hi
fairly new at this -
i'm putting together a 3 scene flash story -

since the chapters are long i wanted to break them into 3 separate swf
files. A user would begin and watch chapter 1 and/or have ability to skip to chapter 2, or 3. via menu buttons. i want the button action to open the other swfs -question is can a button action open a new swf
and launch it, and allow the user to toggle back and forth -?

also is this a good method - to produce mulitple scene, larger files
for online presentations?

thanks in advance

Yes it can, question though, what version of Flash are you using ?

With Flash 8, you can use the loader component

With all other versions you can use loadMovie

i am using flash 8 -

not familiar with loader component -
i'll check into it

in short - the 3 swfs all have the same navgation buttons template with different content in the center area and an audio soundtrack playing -
i need the swfs to load and appear seemless

any thoughts/direction on best practice ?


thanks again
