Hi I now this shouldn´t be hard but it won´t work properly for mie (n00b). I´m trying to load a external jpg into a MC calld holder. In the first frame I use following code [AS]loadMovie(“test.jpg”, holder);[/AS] Now the pic loads just fine but the rest of the layout dissapears? I´ve tried to load it in a diffrent level but then I can´t use Target in the code ( or can I?). Please give me an hand with this… Thx PS attaching the fla ---

> PS attaching the fla ehmm … you forgot the fla 😛 =) is the rest of the layout in the same movie clip? if so … when a movie or jpg is loaded into a movie clip or level everything in the movie clip or level will be replaced with the new movie or jpg … 🙂 ---

No it´s not in the same movieclip. I could make the pic a swf file and then it works fine but I really would like to now how to just load the pics without doing that. ---
