Hi,  
I have one movie clip that when clicked on moves to the left of the screen, after it gets there I want another and exteral swf to load. But I dont know how to get the external clip to load after the movie clip gets to the left side of the screen…  
Here is what I got so far…

square\_mc.onRelease = function()  
{ square\_mc.\_x = 30;  
square\_mc.\_y = 180;  
}  
square\_mc.onEnterFrame = function()  
if(square\_mc.\_y = 180)  
{ \_parent.createEmptyMovieClip(“container\_mc”, \_parent.getNextHighestDepth());  
container\_mc.loadMovie(“slideshow.swf”);  
}

Baicly the idea is when square\_mc get to the Y position of 180, run the external clip.

Any ideas, thank you.
