Hello all! Im working on a website where I click a link and it loads an external SWF on an upper layer, anyway it works fine in the individual mc but when I try it in the container mc on my website when I click the link the link on the actual site the mc is out of place. How do I fix this? When I try to load it into a container mc it works fine on the individual swf but when using it on the website it makes the other SWF dissapear. Does this make sense? Please help ASAP!  
Thanks  
Fidelity

Someone helped me once with that problem.

container\_mc.\_x = xVal;  
container\_mc.\_y = yVal;  
container\_mc.\_xscale = xScale;  
container\_mc.\_yscale = yScale;  
container\_mc.loadMovie(“somemovie.swf”);

I hope that helps.

Maybe you are loading all the SWFs on the same level. The AS “loadMovieNum” has levels.

e.g.:

loadMovie(“yourClip”,level);

loadMovie(“mymovie.swf”, 1); this loads your external clip at level 1, a level higher than your main movie which is 0.

solid gold for swf-loading, level conflict:

getNextHighestDepth()

works like a charm 😉
