Is it possible to LOAD a MOVIE or an external .fla file (located in the same folder) that is triggered from a key frame action.

What I have seen in the past and in tutorials is a Flash file that is loading a movie from a Button Hit.

What I want to do is to have my Flash start playing and loading objects like a normal flash file, and when the timeline gets to a keyframe in the future (lets say keyframe 200) it will trigger a action opening a Movie with a preloader in the beginning of that new MOVIE, that is a .fla file saved in the same ftp’d folder.

Is this possible or does it have to happen from a button hit?

Of course it is possible 😉

\_root.containerClip.loadMovie(“yourFile.swf”)

Just throw that on a frame.
