In my website that I’m attempting to build. I have on the main time line a movie clip for my buttons then movie clips for each section (print design, 3d design, flash animation, etc…) What I want to do in in the flash animation movie clip is add a button that when you click on it it creates a pop up window in flash and then loads the swf that I want to play. Kinda like the website [Portablegallery.com](http://www.portable-gallery.com/) I like how all the artwork comes up in a flash pop up window instead of an html window.

Is it possible to load swf’s that deep into the flash file? and if it is any suggestions on how to do that, or if you need more info on what I’m trying to say let me know

thanks!
