can this be done?

[mart032280]

i found a really good flash file that i want to use but i also want to add it to another flash file i have. can this be done without making any dramatic changes or a lot of copying and pasting?

It's definitely possible to load one Flash movie into another. A movie within a movie, if you like.

(I have to say I've no idea how you do this in Flash 8 as I've never used Flash 8.)

Is that what you mean by 'add'?

if you want to load a flash movie inside a main movie, the way to do is below

short method:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myMovie",this.getNextHigestDepth());
myMovie.loadMovie("externalMovie.swf")//where externalMovie - movie to be loaded into this flash file.
