Hi Everyone,

Firstly can I apologise if I’m asking something completely obvious… it driving me crazy.

The Situation:

I have an swf called “branding.swf” which has a movieclip (movie\_mc) and a button (save\_btn)

Once you press save\_btn it loads another swf “summary.swf” which also has a movieclip “form\_mc”. Within “form\_mc” there is another movieclip “loader\_mc” and some dynamic text fields.

All this happens within a standalone exe “main.exe” and is loaded into "clips\_mc)

Is it possible (surely it must be) to take the contents of movie\_mc and display it within “loader\_mc”.

Basically, I want to do a loadMovie but instead of calling “branding.swf” I want it to only load “movie\_mc” which is within “branding\_swf”

Does that make sense?
