hi  
i have a movie and want to load external swf files into the middle section. my navigation allows users to access from 10 buttons. i can load the swfs either thru createEmptyMovieClip, or loadmovieNum. but i can’t seem to control the levels. that is previous movies can be seen underneath the new loaded movie…  
i need to clear previous movie clip before loading the next, i think?? anyone got any ideas? here is createEmptyMovieClip code.

this.createEmptyMovieClip(“generic\_mc”,2);  
generic\_mc.x=0;  
generic\_mc.y=62;  
onedegree\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
generic\_mc.\_x =0;  
generic\_mc.loadMovie(“onedegree.swf”,1);  
}

thanks for any help.
