Hi All
I want to load multiple external jpg images in one frame.
This works for one image, i want to load at least 6 images.
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”,1);
container.loadMovie(“photo.jpg”);
container.\_x = 50; container.\_y = 350 ;
I have created 6 layers and changed the x & Y fot each layer, still i only see the last one.
How to do this right ?
Thanks for any input.

you need to use a different name and depth for each of the containers… something like this:
```auto
createEmptyMovieClip("container1",1);
container1.loadMovie("photo1.jpg");
createEmptyMovieClip("container2",2);
container2.loadMovie("photo2.jpg");
// etc..
```
