This is really driving me nuts & is probably so very elementary I will say DUH when I find out what I am doing wrong. I have a relatively large swf that I need to load UNDER my interface.

I can get it to load very easily on top of my interface…but unfortunately that is not where it needs to go.

I even tried creating an empty movie clip (dropping it into the first layer) then attempted to load the swf into the target clip…No success ☹

What could I possibly be doing wrong? I know this has got to be easier than it looks!

ok what i understand is that you have 1 swf,(the one u want to load) and the other one is where youre interface is, remember that you need to give “instances” to your Mc’s so the script can call the target.  
so you create a empty mc in your interface give it a instance and put the actions. hope you understand.
