The whole purpose of loadMovie is to load an external .swf file into the current .swf file.
Unless I misunderstood your question.

I have made a file called main.fla, in it there are several movie clips. One of these is called nav. I load my nav bar into this movie clip. In the nav bar there are 6 or 7 buttons, i was wondering if i could make it so that when you click the buttons it loads a movie clip into one of the movie clips in the main.fla. Tell me if you still don’t understand.

It’s possible, and not too difficult. The thing is that you have to find the right path to your container clips.

Be more precise. Is the name of the clip “main frame” with a space??? And where is that clip?

Remove the space and then it would be
```auto
_root.mainFrame.loadMovie("yourMovie.swf");
```
pom :hat:

you could do soomething like:
\someMovieClipFrame = \_root.someMovieClip.\_currentframe\
p.s. i don’t rmember if the ‘f’ in ‘\_currentframe’ is capitalized.
