on (release) {
_root.blankmc.loadMovie(“theme.swf”);
}
That is the correct method.
You must make sure that the blankmc you have on the stage is on a layer above the grid though. The loaded movie will appear on the layer that you have your blank mc on.
i tried that but the balnk mc always managed to get underneath the grid. and the grid covers the whole area that i want to display swf on , so it ll have to be on it .
WHen you load a movie in with loadMovie the loaded movies background becomes transparent, so you will be able to see anything behind that.
In order to have a solid background when you load it in, you will have to create an area on the lowest layer in your loaded movie that is a solid color. You can use the rectangle tool for this.
