Hi everyone,

Im new to Flash and to this forums also, seems many friendly ppl in this forum. Anyway, I have a question regarding ‘loading an external movie’ to the main movie.

Ive been reading this tutorial : [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/loadmovie.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/loadmovie.htm) . Looks great stuff to learn…but how to load that movie in specific location ? and how to load movies automatically w/o press any button ? umm I hope thats clear :beam:

Thanks a lot in advance 🔗

You can use loadMovie as many times as you want.  
Just create another container mc, lets call it content2\_mc.  
than use the following code:[AS]loadMovie(anothermovie.swf, \_root.content2\_mc);[/AS]

[http://www.bluefishgroup.com/](http://www.bluefishgroup.com/) (_see the water effect_)

I was trying to do something similiar : [http://www.masboy.com/flash/watereffect.html](http://www.masboy.com/flash/watereffect.html) but when it came to the last frame, it didnt run smooth. Err…I dont know how to explain it, I hope that’s clear.
