I have one .swf file called loader. It loads a intro.swf movie in its first frame. After intro.swf finishes playing I want loader to load main.swf and play it. I cannot get it to load main.swf and play. Can someone help?

on the last from of the intro.swf put:

\_root.loadMovie(“main.swf”, 1);

make sure to put it on the same level as the intro and it should replace it. If not, you’ll have to use unloadMovie() to clear the intro.
