Hi all,

Here is the setup for this story. I have a flash movie (MC\_A)calling another mc (MC\_B) through the loadMovie function. The movie being called, MC\_B simmply has two layers, one of them being a mask.

Now the issue is when the movie loads I see MC\_B but now MC\_A is no longuer visible.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Did you load them into the same place? Maybe you overwrote one of them.

Well the main movie is MC\_A. MC\_B is being loaded into that movie.

I am including the AS below.

[AS]  
function populateNews(){  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container1”, 1);  
\_root.loadMovie(“smallMCTransition2.swf”, container1);

}  
[/AS]
