Hello,

i’m quite new to flash and have taught myself so my knowledge in somethings is rubbish! I followed the Tutorial to load external swf files but the tutorial is for Flash MX I have flash MX 2004 what do i need to change to get it to work in this (as it doesn’t at the mo) is the action script slightly different?

thanks for any help!!
