Hello everyone! :pope:  
" I am new to flash, " and am having a (minor?) problem. I am using ActionScript 2.0

Currently I am having issues with the way my external swf. is being loaded. I am using a MovieClip Loader. I want the external SWF that is loaded into the movie clip holder to be placed on top of the stage and covering everything beneath it.

To get a better clue of what I am dealing with you may check [http://www.thekhromatic.com/k1/Index.html](http://www.thekhromatic.com/k1/Index.html) - that is what i am working with currently, and if you click the thumbnail image you can see a green box with body text which is loading. however I would like it to load on top instead of below!

var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

var mclL:Object = new Object();

mclL.onLoadProgress = function(target,loaded,total) {  
loader.percent.text = Math.round((loaded/total) \* 100) + “%”;  
}

mclL.onLoadInit = function() {  
loader.\_visible = false;  
loader.percent.text = “”;  
}

mcl.addListener(mclL);

mcl.loadClip(“home.swf”,holder);

b1.onRelease = function() {  
loader.\_visible = true;  
mcl.loadClip(“home.swf”,“holder”);  
}

^^ this is the code I am using. Within the Home swf is another SWF being loaded. Is that the problem? I’ve done several searches all day. It’s now 5 in the morning… ahh someone please help :frankenstein:I’ve got all FLA . SWF files uploaded too ::

I realize the time it takes to figure this out and would be grateful for any kind of advice that may lead to a solution!
