Playing a multitude of other flash movies within a scene

[KrazyChicken]

Ok, I'll try to describe this project as coherently as I can. I'm trying to make a movie where there is a large TV on one side of the screen, and a remote control on the other. The purpose is to showcase a variety of other movies created by multiple people. When certain buttons on the remote are pushed, a specific movie will be played in the center of the "TV screen". The remote control portion I can handle, but I'm not really sure how I'd go about playing the different movies on the TV. I havn't been able to find any info on what it would entail, although I may not be searching for quite the right thing. Thanks in advance for any advice.

You have a few different directions you can go. I'd suggest loadMovie. This will allow to create each movie as its own SWF file then load them as seperate files into your main flash movie.

Several ways to do this...

If all one movie, simply load external .swfs in your TV container clip...
