If you have to link files and such, instead of linking them to [http://www.yoursite.com/file.swf](http://www.yoursite.com/file.swf), place the link as /file.swf. It will work on your computer as well as when you place it over internet in the future. 🙂 ---

Okay sorry…i will try to explain… Im making a gallery, and i have some small pics, and when i press them, i want it to open another window, with the big picture. I have saved the big picture, as “the last inhabitant.swf”, and my Action on the small picture is: on (release) { getURL(The\_Last\_Inhabitant.swf, “\_self”); } I have made a mark in “expression” in URL, cause otherwise it wont work… I think thats the best i can explain it. Hope you know ---

loadMovieNum is used to load another swf. “10” is the level the new movie clip will be loaded into. ---
