[size=2]How can I load a external .swf into a specific location and set size on my main movie? I currently am using the actionscript, loadMovieNum(“intro3.swf”, 1); [/size]

[size=2]My problem is that I am taking an intro that I don’t have the .fla for and its just loading it randomly on the main timeline. So whats happening is the intro is taking up 100% of the main movie timeline and thus interfering with the rest of the content.

[size=2]I would like to somew how load it in to a set mc size. Any help or suggestions is really appreciated.[/size]
