Ok, I have a site with a 100 different swf files. So for organization I put related ones in a sub folder of the root folder Movies.

From there- level 0 (basemovie.swf) I have a button that when its pressed, I want level 0 to be substituted with a swf file contained in one of the sub folders…loadMovieNum("\subdir\basemovie2.swf", 0);

That seems to work fine, but if a place a button on the new level 0 movie, nothing happens. I put a button to do a loadMovieNum("  
ame.swf",0); //i’m thinking I’m within the same subdirectory??// - nothing happens?

Does this make sense? If I put all the movies into 1 folder- guess what - it WORKS…but all those movies in 1 folder?? What a mess.

Well your newly loaded swf is in an emptyMovieClip i gather right? Which is in a swf thats not in a sub folder, so your still not in the dame directory, thus you will still need to refernce them like you did the first time.

Viru.
