Ok I’m tryin to make my site to load as quick as possable so what I did is make extra mc’s, Now say I want mc 1 to be part with mc 2 same time, What I did in mc 1 was make a empty mc named it DD. I then placed a new layer and draged the mc to screen. I then in actions added.
* * *
## loadMovie(“dd.swf”, “\_parent.container”);
But its not working 🅰 I know its something silly but for the life of me cannot see whats wrong. I also tried this in actions
* * *
## \_root.mc2.loadMovie(“dd.swf”);
Still not showing mc 2 dd inside mc 1 Some kind person
put me right please.
Thankyou.
Regards Barrie

Not quite sure what you are trying to do, but as you’ve pointed out, it’s probably something simple. Try
[AS]
loadMovie(“dd.swf”, “\_root.container”);
[/AS]
or
[AS]
loadMovie(“dd.swf”, “\_parent.\_parent.container”);
[/AS]
- check the path to the swf
- check for spelling mistakes or capitalization in your file and instance names
Where is the loadMovie action? If it is on the main timeline, I would guess that from your description the actions should be:
[AS]
loadMovie(“dd.swf’”, \_root.mc1.mc2);
[/AS]
Did you name the swf “dd” or “DD”?
You’ve probably checked all of this but you’ll headbutt something if you later find out it was one of these things.

I know its not the spelling the dd.swf is just that. Let me try and explain better… It’s like this. I have made a photo Gallery

> What I did in mc 1 was make a empty mc named it DD
Is dd MC1 or is dd supposed to be a container ?
Maybe post your files, so it will be clearer

1. Create a new layer in pg, put it under layer1
2. Create a empty movieclip, give it instance name “container”, drop it on layer 2 in the upper left corner
3. Create a new layer, put in it [AS]loadMovie(“dd.swf”, “container”);[/AS]
and it’s done
