Hi all, i have 2 movie clips say mc\_main.swf and mc\_gb.swf. Both work fine individually. The mc\_gb.swf is a flash cgi guestbook.
1. I try to use the following code to load mc\_gb.swf into mc\_main.swf
```auto
loadMovie("mc_gb.swf","content");
```
result:
successfully loaded in , but the mc\_main.swf is gone, leave only mc\_gb.swf .
what i want is to have a new layer contains mc\_gb.swf and mc\_main.swf stays on a lower layer.
1. I also try this code
```auto
loadMovie("mc_gb.swf",0);
```
result:
seems ok, but the guestbook cant work. It cant get the data from cgi server.
Can anyone answer this?:red:

change it to
```auto
loadMovie("mc_gb.swf",1);
```
should work if you load into level 0 of anything it wil replace the whole content of the movieclip
