## The reason only one showed up was because they typed one of the lines incorrectly. It should be:

on(press){  
loadMovie(“whavever1.swf”,\_root.Mc1);  
loadMovie(“whatever2.swf”,\_root.Mc2);

## }

As for what you can do about overlapping, I couldn’t help you there…

You could change their stacking order to make them overlap eachother. Find a tutor [here](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/swapdepth.htm).  
To place them at a certain position, simply use

\_root.mc1.\_x = xposition;  
\_root.mc1.\_y = yposition;  
\_root.mc2.\_x = xposition;  
\_root.mc2.\_y = yposition;

Of course, xposition and yposition have to be replaced by the x and y coordinates of the movie you are loading the other ones in when at the place you want them to load.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.  
The prob. is still there. i saw a couple of sites in which the developers did 2 things , i think . When i pressed the buttons (service etc.) 2 things took place one was “loadmovie” the other was “sliding picture”, i think both of those developers had given 2 different actions to every button .one action loaded the movie and the other moved the bg pic. inside a box .i don’t remember those sites’ names , i think one was jontom .com or something ,it was placed at sotw section of these forums ,today i tried to visit jontom site it said page under const., now maybe it was the same site i mentioned maybe some else . i hope i’ve stated my question clearly but if u don’t understand what i’m trying to say please ask again so that i explain more .  
Thankyou.  
Peace.
