Opening external swfs into main movie

1

Hi

I have done searches… and either I am just braindead today, or I am not finding the answer.

Anyway, I have a main.swf with a menu that is its own mc.
(It needs to pop up when the menu button is clicked), from this menu I need external swfs to open
inside my main.swf.
I also want my external swfs to play in order.
like mod_1.swf plays and then opens mod_2.swf ect.

(the menu is just for the user to jump around)

So I have started with this code…
on the main timeline(Scene) I have a target code

_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”,1);
container._x = 0
container._y = 0

then within my menu mc I have

m1_btn.onpress = function() {
loadMovie (“mod_1.swf”, “container”);
container._x = 400
container._y = 300
};

-and I do have a container mc in my library-

but, its not working… :-\

I would truely appreciate any advice.
Thanks

Are you sure you don’t have a movieclip with the depth 1 already ? Also, use container.loadMovie(“mod_1.swf”), handier to use.

depth 1? you mean the scene?

No, I mean the depth of the movieclip you create, createEmptyMovieClip(instancename,depth). If two movieclips have the same depths, they won’t function properly.
