.SWF Levels / Please Help!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have created a simple file explaining what I'm trying to do.
I simply want my external .swf files(sliding pages) to enter the stage "underneath" the gray box on the timeline.
This seems like it should be a simple thing but I just don't know levels or where to even put the code for this.
I'm new so please explain like I'm a 5 year old.

Here's a link to the main.swf:
http://www.taiflora.com/flash/main.swf

I'm also attaching the zipped .fla files but they can also be found at:
http://www.taiflora.com/flash/transitions.zip

Any & all help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

P.S. My "page loading" bar isn't working but just disregard that. I can fix.
Please be patient on the load.

I haven't looked at your file, but if you have a gray box on _level0 (or: the main timeline of your main swf), then every higher level you load something in will be on top of that gray box.

To have your swf under the gray box, make an empty movieclip (a container mc) a layer (not a level) lower than the gray box and then use the loadMovie method to load the swf into that container mc. Check out the helpfile on MovieClip.loadMovie() or check out the tutorial section : http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/intermediate/using_loadmovie--understanding_scale/index.shtml
