Hi there,

what was the script for loading a movie into an empty MC when the main novie has finished loading?

/no on click event, just when movie finishes loading another movie loads upon the main movie/

I suppose you can detect when the movie has finished loading using a preloader for example, then use this:

```auto

holder.loadMovie("yourswf.swf")

```

Where holder is the movieclip to load yourswf.swf into 🙂

You forgot to give the instance name holder, and you didn’t delete the onEnterFrame handler 🙂
