importing swf

[wilbur99]

Hi
is is possible to import a swf into a fla
rather than reference it externally

Can anyone explain how this works

Thanks

When doing that, assuming the .swf is not protected against import, it only imports the graphics and no actionscript whatsoever...
So if your intention is just playing some linear playing external .swf in your own .fla, then no problem... Otherwise no scripts will be imported or executed in your own movie...

Alternately, you could copy the external .swf into a movie clip of your own .fla, and that would probably work, assuming there were no code conflicts, references to _root & al...
