I have a button on my main stage that I want to load multiple instances of an external swf. I will only need 6 instances but I need them to load next to each other and or below each other.

Say for an swf that is 50 x 50

use loadmovieclip and duplicatemovieclip…

you probably want to use a “for” statement for naming and such.
