Loading External MCs into external MCs

Is it possible to load an external mc (which has empty mcs for thumbs) into a container on the main swf? A sort of… external mc into an external mc into a container on the main timeline? Confusing I know… C:-)

What I am trying to do is load a photogallery created by followng this tutorial:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm which has containers and thumbnails, etc.

into a container.mc on the main timeline. The gallery appears to be working in it’s fla and own swf, but when I try to load that swif into the website’s container the images/thumbnails dont show up…or text even.

I’m guessing that you can do this, i mean, after all any photographers site seems to use it… I’m guessing it has something to do whith the way I’m referencing mcs… obviously I’m not doing it right.

Or is there a better/other way to do this?

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance.
