Load movie into movie clip

1

Hi Guys,

Flash Newbie Here, I havent even completed my first site yet, just a quick question for som1 with the knowledge.

I Have A Movie Clip Which is Set To Top Left In That MC I Have Drawn A rectangle The Same Size As the SWF I wanted to Load in that MC.

So My question is:
How Do I Load The Seperate SWF into that Movie Clip?
What AS Do I Use?
Were do i put that AS. in the main timeline or the MC timeline?

I guess it wasnt such a quick question after all. thanks to all that help…

instead making a movieclip for attaching swf file, just make an emptyMovieclip from the AS

//on the frame action in the main timeline
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”,1);
//positioning the emptyMovieClip named container
container._x =0;
container._y =0;
//attach the swf file which is in the same folder
container.loadMovie(“filename.swf”);
//that’s it
