i’m a n00b but i think what you’re looking to do can be solved using frame labels… kind of on(release) { gotoandplay(“theframelabel”); } [do this tut to get a feeling for frame labels](http://www.cbtcafe.com/FLASH/flyoutmenu/flyoutmenus.html) i could be wrong but i think that may help ---

(pre warning, if this makes me sound like a jerk, theres a reason behind it 🙂 ) Im pretty sure its written down somewhere that these forums should be used once your well and truely stuck, we are not all here to teach you how to use flash, thats up to you to pursue, fortunately when you run into one of those huge walls (i.e. actionScript 😉 ) you have somewhere to turn… Your question could have been answered with about 5 minutes of self research bro 😑 … Just thought i’d explain digis response 🙂 luv yah all anywayz 🥚 ---

your 1st Q seems unclear to me… just a guess, I think attachMovieCLip will do… on ur 2nd Q, if you load your external swf file onto a mc, you can use \_visible function, thus, if that xternal file is not yet fully loaded or not yet in the exact frame, make in invinsible… =) ---

load it into a movie clip that only exists on that frame, so that it will only exist when that movie clip exists. Of course, you have to attach it while the movie is on that frame, or the movie clip will not exist to attach it to. ---
