I am trying to make a card game.

The main fla file loads an external swf file that is a movie clip that has the card art images (one card art on each frame)

This works good and I can view the loaded swf on the stage.

public function FinishedLoading(loadEvent:Event):void {  
LoadedMovie = MovieClip(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);  
addChild(LoadedMovie);  
}

What I want to do in another function is to duplicate the load swf, so that I can have 52 of the same object, each with a different picture. I need to know how to create an instance of the loaded swf.

I would like to control each instance of the loaded swf by telling each one independently of each other to go to and stop at a specific frame such as 3 or 17, or 43, based on what card is needed at that time.

This code creates an error:

var NewCard:MovieClip = new LoadedMovie();

And i could not go any farther. Thanks in advance!
