is there anyway of loading an externally loaded swf into two movieclips? seems kinda easy thing to do but having no luck at all using same loader. once i add the loader to one movie clip, the other just disappears.

Do i have to load the swf twice using two different loaders?  
Or is there a way to clone the loader?

AS3 is looking kinda complicated at times like these…  
Thnx in advance
