hi guys

I have alittle problem here with loading SWF’s into SWF what I mean is:

I am building a flash website which has (let say 5 swf’s) each has different functions. so my home.swf has nothing but the buttons on the left side and on the right side is an empty space for external movies to load. so  
when it loads home.swf i want to make another movie load in it automaticly i.e  
when i load home.swf ( which has only buttons on the left I want at the same time to load news.swf on the right side of home.swf  
and when i click contact button i want to load contact,swf and so on.

please help me to add right actionscript into my home.swf

You can use loadMovie() or loadMovieNum() for that.

The descriptions of them are pretty good int he AS Reference in MX. Or the AS Dictionary at [http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action\_scripts\_dict.html](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts_dict.html)
