    swishmax 2 link help needed

    I'm not sure how to go about making a link work. what I have is a main swf (index) that loads and then another swf (home) loads in to it. What I want to do is place a button/link on the home.swf that will unload this movie and load another movie in it's place using the movie clip that I have used from the main index.swf


    Hope I'm making since

    ...just load the other external swf into the same movieclip - one will replace the other -
    on (release) {
    container.loadMovie("the_other_swf.swf");
    }
    "container" = the movieclip you load the external swf into.

    wolf, thank you for the response.


    I don't think I explained correctly what I need help with:

    I have a main .swf that has a movieclip (named page_loader) in it that loads up a external swf (named news.swf), what I would like too find out is it possible to have a button in the news.swf that will tell the page_loader movieclip from the main swf to load another movie in it's place.

    thanks,
    Glen

    on (release) {
    _root.page_loader.loadMovie("the_other_swf.swf");
    }
