Placing external SWF's inside a container?

Hey all,

Need a little nudge again. I’m creating a master movie that will load 4 external swf’s. To do this, I made a container of sorts by having an animated screen rising up. I created an empty movie clip and titled it “empty_mc”. I dragged it onto the “container screen” but when I press any specific button to load one of the external swf’s, they don’t maintain the container size.

So, how do I ensure when a button is pressed for a particular swf, that it stays within the confines of the container? To see what I’m trying to do, here is the site:

Some of the buttons aren’t working yet. However, the Drag and Drop one does for sure…just out of scale of the container.

I’m experimenting with how to do this by this code by using loadMovie and loadMovieNum:


stop();

jukebtn.onRelease = function ()
{

    loadMovie ("BKjukebox.swf", empty_mc);
    empty_mc._xscale = 90;
    empty_mc._yscale = 90;
    empty_mc._x = 65;
    empty_mc._y = 65;
}

sshowbtn.onRelease = function ()
{

    loadMovieNum ("slideshow.swf", 10);

}

gamebtn.onRelease = function ()
{

    loadMovie ("drag_drop.swf", 15);
    empty_mc._xscale = 90;
    empty_mc._yscale = 90;
    empty_mc._x = 65;
    empty_mc._y = 65;

}

dynambtn.onRelease = function ()
{

    loadMovieNum ("dynamic_text.swf", 20);

}
