does anyone know how to load external swfs into the an MC content box using movies with embedded buttons?

the problem i’m running into is this: i have animated buttons within movie clips. i also have a main\_content MC in my scene into which i’m trying to load background images from another file. this other file has 3 frames, each with a different image.

i don’t know what the action script would be for a movie/button to load my external swf frames into the main\_content MC.

could someone help?

thanks!
