It seems a few of my posts have disappeared so I’m re-posting some previous questions: I’m having problems with the loadmovie action. I would like to load external movies into a blank movieclip on my main timeline. I seem to have it working pretty much except for one thing: When one movie replaces another in the blank clip you see the background image on the main timeline for a second. I would like to know how to avoid this. Here is a link to my fla: [My fla](http://www.pagethirteen.com/indexmovie.fla) If someone could have a look at it I would appreciate it. NOTE: The fla contains only one scene, I deleted the unnecessary scenes to lower the file size of the fla. So have a look at [pagethirteen](http://www.pagethirteen.com/flash.html) to see an example of the problem I’m having. Click the “contact” button twice in a row and you’ll see what I mean. Also, I’d like to know how to load an external movie into a blank movie clip on a frame action. That is to say that I would like a movie to load into a blank movieclip at the beginning of a scene automatically. Thanks in advance… -P. ---

_NOTE_ Right click the “my fla” link and choose “save as” or download link" to get it… Also, give the contact section a second to load when you check out my site. -P.
