Hi all,  
This is what I am trying to do:  
I have a button on swf 1 and when clicked I want it to open a mc in swf 2.  
I am using a code .as file to do this.  
I have everything set up and it works in swf1 (ie on clicking the button an mc is attached to stage) but I want it to open in swf2.  
The swf2 needs to be stable by itself as it is a file that is going to be uploaded to a website…  
Any ideas?
