Hi everybody, i need to load a movie into a container, i’m using this AS:

\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);  
loadMovie(“home.swf”, “container”);  
container.\_x = 280 ;  
container.\_y = 100 ;

it’s work fine, but i need to load the movie on frame 3. Because on frame 1&2 i got a preloader.  
Can somebody tell me how can i modify the AS above, to load the movie on frame 3.  
Thanks!

I got the preloader in frames 1&2 of the container movie, that i called it “Main”. But the problem is that i need to load into this container a couple of movie clips. on frame 3. Then i think that i need modify The AS above. But I can’t get it works.
