can no one help here???

you load an external swf using the following method?

loadMovie("name.swf","target");

my target is a rectangle on my stage called content,

loadMovie("name.swf","content");

the actual swf i am trying to load has an intro and an outro, i have a number of content pages with the same format, content2,content3 and so on.

on the main stage i have a number of buttons, 1,2,3...

when the main stage loads i want content to load into the rectangle called content. then when any of the other buttons are pressed it plays the outro of content and the intro of the relavent content.swf???


some one must know how to do this, or even do it in an easer way???????

please

yes i can load the external swf files, its controlling them from outside that i am having trouble with?????

by outside i mean from the stage that contains the mc that has the swf loaded onto it?

any ideas??

thanks

Well if your containing MC is on the main stage then you would simply access it via _root.content but thats only if you're referencing it from the same level, otherwise, or if you're not sure then specify the actual level the MC is on, i.e. _level1.content
