I was experimenting with the **[COLOR=#003366]Transitions [/COLOR]**[FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#003366]Between External SWFs tutorial from this site and wanted to try something else.[/COLOR][/FONT]  
[FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#003366]I want to use the same technique as this \*\*Transitions \*\*[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=3][COLOR=#003366][SIZE=2]Between External SWFs tutorial.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]  
[FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#003366][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=3][COLOR=#003366][SIZE=2]So when i click a button it loads the swf and when i click a other one it loads a new swf, what happens now is that when i click a button the previous swf animates first and then it loads the new swf.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]  
[FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#003366][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=3][COLOR=#003366][SIZE=2]I want the previous swf to still be visable and let the preloader run somewere in the screen and then let the new swf appear.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]  
[FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#003366][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=3][COLOR=#003366][SIZE=2]Is this possible ?[/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]  
[FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#003366][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=3][COLOR=#003366][SIZE=2]Can somebody help me out ?[/SIZE]

try to load it with swapDepths() … for example

```auto

on (release) {
    holder.swapDepths(500)
    holder.loadMovie("movie2.swf");
}

```
