[FONT=Arial] **Hello,** [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]I usually design graphics with Swish rather than Flash. I am curious on how to create a .swf animation compiling multiple .swf files amidst each other. Here is a site for example:[/FONT]

[[FONT=Arial]http://www.elevatorchannel.com/flash.html [/FONT]](http://www.elevatorchannel.com/flash.html)

[FONT=Arial]I would first off like to compliment it because it has a clean appearance. Ok, now back to the subject of how to place other .swf files over the main .swf body. You see that the “\_root.swf” is the main element of the graphics. It has a small overlay animation which is “screen\_overlay.swf”. There is also another file; “explantion.swf” that loads over the “\_root.swf”. Is this achieved in Flash? [/FONT]

**[FONT=Arial]Thanks…[/FONT]**
