I was wondering if anyone could help me!!! I used the tutorial for loading external swf’s into a movieclip off of this site. But what I am trying to do is load another external swf inside of that external movieclip. Not sure if that makes sense. I kind of have it working where it loads the first external clip. But when I press a button to load a different one, it plays the transition then loads nothing. It’s just blank.

This is the AS 2.0 that I am using for the external swf button that is inside another:

on (release) {  
if (this.\_parent.currMovie == undefined) {  
this.\_parent.currMovie = “StrategicPlanning2”;  
container2.loadMovie(“StrategicPlanning2.swf”);  
} else if (this.\_parent.currMovie != “StrategicPlanning2”) {  
if (container2.\_currentframe\>=container2.midframe) {  
this.\_parent.currMovie = “StrategicPlanning2”;  
container2.play();  
}

```
}

```

}

And this is the AS that I am placing on the last frame in the actions layer

this.\_parent.container2.loadMovie(this.\_parent.currMovie+".swf");

Please help!!! I am only a Graphic Designer!!
