loading unloading swfs prob/s

[jamesmack]

hi, i've been checking out loading/unloading external swfs tutorials and so far, i haven't found one that works (or i haven't found one i understood....newbie, by the way).

here's the prob: i have a main.swf and when i click a button, i can load a mangallery.swf on a target/empty MC on it....

the maingallery.swf has another target/MC on it, which loads either a gallery1.swf and a gallery2.swf when a button is clicked on the maingallery.swf

the gallery.swf ALONE works, but when it's loaded on the main.swf.... the gallery1.swf and gallery2.swf don't load.

maingallery.swf , gallery1.swf and gallery2.swf all work when played on seperate players, but don't work when used together...

i read somewhere about levels...anyone want to explain, please?

another problem is.....

maingallery.swf loads gallery1.swf and gallery2.swf.....but doesn't unload them. so, if i click gallery1.swf first....then gallery.swf i can still see gallery1.swf under gallery2.swf

help, please?

Most probably a pathing problem and/or references to _root in your loaded in movies... Would need to see your .flas.

if u are loading ur external swf into a movieClip, it has nothing to do with _level.... I suppose
