Ok, this should be easy to do. So i hope i dont have trouble with it like the rest of the things im trying.

All i want to do is load a swf movie on my main movie. I dont want to use any button presses. When the main movie loads up. It should load the other movie into a certain spot.

Where do i put the action script for this ? on what frame / layer ? Also what is the actual script command i need to use to load it. The file will be in same directory, its going to be a small news flasher that has to be on its own minimovie to look right.

Any help on this would be appreciated… Thx:)

Something along the lines of…

```auto
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("loaderClip", 1);
loadMovie("yourFile.swf", "loaderClip");
loaderClip._x = 0;
loaderClip._y = 0;

```

I think that is how it goes…haha.

Oh yeah, just put that on the frame you would like your movie to load on.

Thanks man. It worked

Only thing i need to figure out now is how to make it reload when someone opens up new movie it goes away for some reason.

If you load another clip on the same level (the 1 in the createEmptyMovieClip), then the new object will replace the old object.

This might be the problem.
