I’ve been searching the forums here, so if you know of a thread with the answer, please post a link.

I’m trying to figure out how to load an external swf into an empty container using loadMovie() - from an XML menu

or, if that is not possible, than to target a specific frame to start playing instead.

Anyone know if this can be done?

thanks! :crazy:
