Layers of loadMovie

[sfhazel]

I have my main SWF file. It loads a new SWF into this main SWF for every section of my site. One such section is a gallery format. This SWF, when played alone, loads JPG thumbnails using the loadMovie() function. When it is loaded in my main movie, these JPGs do not load.

My question: Can you use loadMovie to load an item into a swf that has already been loaded into the main SWF?

If my words are not clear, this is what I am trying to explain:

index.swf ---> section.swf ---> thumbnail.jpg (does not work for me)
section.swf --> thumbnail.jpg (does work)

Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?

I've tried loading the section into my main swf as layer 1, and loading my JPG file as layer 2. This still doesn't solve the problem.

Hi,
What you are trying to do is Load the section movie and within that load jpg files in it on a index file.
Right???
Check out this file I have made for you.

Thank you for your very clear and easy to understand example. You showed me that it IS possible, so I checked my code again...

Here was the problem:

index.swf loaded section.swf, but section.swf was in a folder. The JPG file was also in this folder. When I played section.swf, the JPG was in that directory, so it loaded. But...when I loaded section.swf into the index.swf movie, it took on the index.swf's directory.

Solution: I made my section.swf movie load a JPG from "folder/file.jpg" instead of "file.jpg"

I feel slightly retarded for missing this tiny detail...
