I am vewrynnew to Flash. I got the concept of creating a SWF then another SWF. Load the original SWF into the 2nd SWF using a movie clip 3 layers: contents —\>? Where the movie cip is… actions—\> To load the original external swf i want as the main page buttons --\> the buttont to load the external swf’s right now i have 1 button. called steven the action script for this button is: on (release) { \_root.contents.loadMovie(“steven.swf”); } This works fine except for one thing. The external SWF is static, meaning the SWF i creted (a photo Gallery loading external images from a folder) only show up as two button and the movie clip is solid. It seems like the only thing you can load as an external movie clip is static, not a photo gallery. But i have seen several sites that do this. Please help this very, very frustrated user. Thank you.
