[MX] Loading a .swf into a loaded swf

1

First off, thanks in advance for your help

What I have here is my main Flash movie.

My main flash movie goes out and loads an external swf into an empty MC

[COLOR=blue] _root.contents.loadMovie(“2_portfolio.swf”);[/COLOR]

There is no problem there.

Now in one of the scenes on the loaded movie I want to load some other swf’s into a blank MC. I am using the code (just one example)

[COLOR=blue]_root.flash.loadMovie(“flash/cardcage.swf”);[/COLOR]

The movie works fine when I run it by itself “2_portfolio.swf”

But when I run the whole movie, (the one that loads 2_portfolio.swf) the secondary .swf files do not load.

Any idea as to what I am doing wrong?

loadMovie(“url”,level/target[, variables])

This is the usage of loadMovie. I think it is confusing the level/target thing. You need to mention that too.

Hope this helps!!
