I read the tutorial on how to create a full flash site: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full\_site.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full_site.htm).

I want to know if you can have load another SWF from an already loaded SWF file.

Eg. Say I have index.swf and file1.swf and file2.swf

From index.swf, I load file1.swf into that movie clip (‘contents’). I want to put a link to file2.swf on file1.swf, but I want file2.swf to load in ‘contents’ which is located in index.swf.

How do I do that?

Thanks in advance!

You would have to place another empty movie clip, and then you can load the other external movie.

So I can’t refer to that movie clip instance on the first file from the second file?
