Hello All! =) I have a question about loadMovie. I usually have no problem with it. I normally load an external .swf file into a MovieClip in another file etc. Using something like this: -

```auto
container_mc.loadMovie("filename.swf");

```

works like a charm, however there is something new that I am trying to do with it.

I want to load several external .swf files into the same container\_mc, but I want it to be a linear transition, if you understand?

Basically I have 3-4 mini flash games and I want it so when you have played one game you play another straight after, but the problem I am having is getting the next .swf file to load in the original container.

Sounds a bit confusing I know, I’ll try to explain it a little clearer.

right…

first flash file contains:-

```auto
container_mc.loadMovie("game1.swf");

```

this works with no problems.

but within game1.swf I want to load the next game (game2.swf) to the first flash file in container\_mc.

do i add \_root or \_global identifier? If so it doesn’t seem to be working. On a side note the score in the game doesn’t work while in a container, must be to do with the \_root identifier in that game or something :S.

Anyway, hope it’s a little easier to understand lol.

Thanks in advanced, any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated 😃
