Hey,  
Can someone help me with loading external swfs. I am trying to load a swf and I need to be able to access certain frames in the swf. I’ve tried:

```auto
loader.load(new URLRequest("intro.swf"));
loader.target.content.totalFrames;

```

to access the number of frames

and

```auto
loader.load(new URLRequest("intro.swf"));
test_mc.addChild(loader);

```

and neither method worked. Hopefully someone can explain how to add an swf to a movieclip. Thanks
