Maybe you are using Absolute paths in making you scroller that’s why the script didn’t work when you loaded it into another SWF. Instead of using \_root use \_parent instead. 🙂

That depends on the strucutre of the scroller. Can you post it here ? It is most likely a problem with the paths.

\*Too late …

its quite large, i’ll upload it later…  
i tried using  
on (press) {  
loadMovieNum(“hapusyah.swf”, \_parent.loadmc);  
}  
but all it does is it replaces the whole scene.

remove the \_parent part and leave only loadMC

```auto

//try this script...
on (press) {
loadMovie("hapusyah.swf", "loadmc");
}

```

I bet that your movieclip target is on the same timeline as your button so…

You used loadMovieNum, which is used to load movieclips on a level, but you specified a movieclip. For more info about loadMovieNum, [click here](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary424.html)

Try using loadmc.loadMovie(“hapusyah.swf”); Make sure the path to loadmc is correct.

\*Oh and make sure you gave instance names.

– okay, here goes a new problem, the loaded swf sticks on top left, how can i move it to another position?

\_level1.\_x = 64  
\_level1.\_y = 53

I think 🙂

– the target loadmovie doesn’t work, i dont know why. it doesnt even showup.

What do you mean with “the target loadmovie” ?

imean, right now i use loadmovie level, not loadmovie target, because it doesnt work, it only shows the images without the scrolling. with loadmovie target i can freely put an empty MC on the timeline and the movie will load there, right?

im back at step one again.

the code doesnt work, do u have another one i could try? =).
