Hi,

Is there any way to load an external SWF within an empty movie clip by entering code within a frame on the timeline? I have been able to load an external SWF within an empty movie clip by click on a button but I have need the SWF to automaticly load at a certain frame instead of clicking a button.

Thanks for any help,  
Brian
