Hi Everybody… hope ya’ll having a good day/night:z:

Can someone help and shed some light on this?

I used the code provided by “tfoston” to create an empty movie clip to hold my external swf from here:

that portion works good, thanks to tfoston…

however, my problem is with a motion tween i’ve created that has a gray bar moving up and down… the tween is all in one movie clip and i put that movie clip on the main timeline… now when the external swf is loaded, it partially hides the animated gray bar… _before the external swf is loaded all of the gray bar is visible_

any idea how i can move the animation on top? so that the loaded swf would be behind the animated gray bar?

thanks in advance for any help/advice :hugegrin:
