Hi,  
I’ve been coding a little in Actionscript, for the company webpage and i’ve depared with a little big problem, that it’s killing my head.

I’ve got a film that calls external swf’s. Till now everything is good. I click in a button and the movie is called.

On the external swf there is a little animation that passes the size of 640\*345(size of the external swf). This comes to, when i load the external swf instead of seing just the size of the movie it show’s all the other things that shouldn’t be visible. For example pieces of a flower that are under the visible window… become visible.

Well my question is if there is a way of making this external file being loaded into a container that uses a window of a certain size… or can it be possible of making a container that won’t show the other animations in the external file?

Sorry for the long writing… and thanks in advance.

All the best.
