Ok i was going thru the full flash website tutorial here. Now for some reason when I follow the tutorial it doesnt work for me. Ive gone over it a few times and it just doesnt seem to work? It seems the load comand for external swf isnt working. I even made a simple one to test. I made a new flash project then I inserted a new movie clip named it header. Then I made a new layer for actions and on the first frame put this header.loadMovie(“newsheader.swf”); so that as soon as it started that header would show up. And still nothing. Now there all in the same dir 2 swfs and html. can anyone think of why this isnt working. Also I notice when you make this type of blank movie clip you cant change the size of it or is the little cirlce the middle point? Thx for the help guys! ---

Try using: loadMovie(“newsheader.swf”, \_root.header); ---
