Would someone please be so kind, and explain the concept of the Levels parameter… For some reason i just cant grasp it, and feeling pretty dumb :block:  
I learned Flash by just “jumping right into it” (by need), and unfortunately I find myself bumping into terms I dont quite grasp.

\*Example:  
loadVariablesNum (“_url_” ,[color=Red] **\*level \*** [/color][, _variables_])

My current project includes trying to load a movie/swf when a user presses a button. The Flash Help says:  
\*[color=Black]“If you want to load a SWF or JPEG file into a specific level, use loadMovieNum() instead of loadMovie().”

[/color]\*[color=Black]I’m not quite sure of which to use.

Any help / examples would be appreciated.

Thanks.
