Hi

I am trying to load an external swf with in a mainmovie.  
my code:

loadMovie(“sta/external.swf”, swfloader\_mc);

The problem is that the external.swf is a looping flashmovie and as soon as its finished the main swf is jumping to root, frame 1.

I want the mainmovie to stop and wait while the external should keep looping.

Greatful for any help

Thanx in advance 🙂
