Hello all.

I am new to actionscript so please be kind - lol

What I am attempting to do is have an external swf load when my main movie enters a certain frame, while this external swf loads and plays I would like the mainmovie to continue to play as well, and lastly, when the loaded external swf is finished playing I would like it to unload automatically and return to the main movie on a frame I specify

The problem I am having at the moment is when the external swf loads, my mainmovie stops playing and remains static until the external swf has finished playing.

you can see what I have done here - [[color=#22229c]http://leisurelarry.no-ip.info[/color]](http://leisurelarry.no-ip.info/) - and you can also dl the .fla files

I have in fact stopped the movie because I want the user to click on the word “commencer” to load the first movie, afterwards I would like the movies to load automatically when entering a certain frame

I appreciate any help/advice
