Help Needed Over Here!

I AM TRYING TO LOAD AN EXTERNAL SWF INTO A mc ON MY MAIN TIME LINE.

I HAVE MY BUTTONS ON THE MAIN TIME LINE AND THE mc WHERE I WANT THE SWF TO BE LOADED .

the swf file is based on the smooth trans tut found at tableau.
with an intro and outro and a preloader.

when button1 is pressed i want the preloader to start in the MC (not just on the main stage) then i want the intro to play(all in the MC on the main stage)
then when another button is pressed, the outro is played and then intro of the new swf?????

any ideas??
thanks

im just wondering if i have explained this enough?

do you follow what im asking?

[linckx]

isn't it just that you need to give your mc an instancename and then load the swf in it like:

loadMovie("myMovie.swf",myTarget);

or am I not understanding this?

friendly greetings

when i did it, the buttons where in the same mc as the mc with the preloader in, but i want the buttons to be on the main timeline not in the movie clip????

thanks

then simply copy-paste them on your main timeline?
and adapt the paths?

that should do it, not?

your problem was: how do I adress a movieclip in a movieclip from a button, right?
