Loading movie in seperate window

How would u load a movie inside another movie like as a pop up so i could still see the bacground of the other movie??? I am able to load a movie into a movie but it resizes the window and i cant see the previous movie. Is there a way to do this??

I don’t know if this helps, but what you could try doing, in the main movie, create a new layer called mask, make a mask , (square box) over the area that u want to display your mini movie in, once you’ve done this, create another layer called content, go to create new symbol and call your content “content”, and then save it as a movie. Now drag your movie named ‘content’ onto the screen, and set it at the top left hand corner of your mask that you created earlier. Now give the content movie an instance name ‘content.’ Now go to your mask layer and mask it. If you’ve done this correctly, you have now set up an area were u can display your content in. You might want to create new flash file, to display your content, and then in your main movie, create a button that opens up the content. the code for the buttons should read something like this

on (release) {
loadMovie(“external.swf”, “_root.content”);
}

make sure u change “external” into what you named your file that u want displaying inside ur main movie. Thats it, I hope it works for you!Goodluck

You could also make an actual popup browser window with nothing but the titlebar like in this tut:

You could also open up a new swf in a transparent windowless (in your publish options). I’m not really sure how to use that because I’ve never done it, but I bet you’d find a bunch of stuff doing a search on ‘transparent windowless’.
