hello perhaps simple question, but i can’t find the answer!  
i am making a full flash site, loading my pages as external swfs into a blank mc on the main.swf.  
i want to repeat the process, ie. load an external swf into a blank mc on one of these pages which is itself loaded into the main.swf…  
i am using loadMovie and i know that when i call  
\_root this refers to the main.swf timeline…  
how can i call the external.swfs timeline? (am trying \_parent and level0 with no success…  
eagerly awaiting crumbs of wisdom
