Hi everyone,

I have just looked at a tutorial on transitioning between external swfs for ideas on how I can play a little simulation inside another flash file. I am a beginner and this tutorial was a little more complex than what I need (for example, I don’t know if I need “midframe” or anything).

I can’t just load the simulation as a movie clip because the drag/rotation functionality is gone, it just plays by itself. I am using Flash 8.

Please help!

Thanks,

Vicky
