I have a flash Project, and I have external SWF’s that are loading and unloading into my project. However I need the external SWF’s to be under certain layers. What I would love to be able to do is load my external SWF’s into a MovieClip that is already residing on the layer underneath those items. However I have no idea how to do this.

I have the files here. Pretty straight forward, the main SWF (“mod\_loading\_2.swf”), loads and unloads the other two SWF’s(“m-1\_intro.swf”, and “m-2\_WIB.swf”). There is a layer named loader layer, and I would like to load the external SWF’s into a movieClip on that layer. The load and upload code are in the main SWF, and that is what I need help with.

How do I load these SWF’s into a MovieClip on the timeline?
