Loading SWF from a loaded SWF into the Main SFW

1

Hi guys (long time) :smirk:

I’m loading a small SWF (I’ll name it SWF2) into a scrollPane (which acts as a mask) in my main flash movie. From within SWF2 (once its loaded) I’m loading yet another (bigger) SWF (let’s call it SWF3).

Now, if I load SWF3 (from within SWF2) using this:

loadMovie(“SWF3.swf”, 1);

SWF3 loads into the MAIN flash mc - but not within the scrollPane), which is what I want. However, SWF3 is positioned to the default top left, and I want to position it elsewhere.

Here is the prob:

If I do this:

createEmptyMovieClip(“container”,1);
loadMovie(“SWF3.swf”, “container”);

(I’ve also tried creating the container mc in “_parent”)

SWF3 gets loaded into the scrollpane (like SWF2) which is no good as the scrollpane itself is positioned in the far right of the MAIN flash.

I want to load SWF3 into the main flash movie (but not within the scrollpane). Loading the SWF into level 1 achives this but leaves me without the ability to position it, so if anybody knows of a workaround I’d be grateful to read it

As always, cheers!
