    If you need to have only one deliverable file, the first thing that springs to mind is using scenes.

    Add one scene for each external swf you are loading and then use a goto command instead of a loadMovie command.

    This assumes that you are talking about loading movies that replace content and not loading movies on top of the root so that some of the original movie is visible under the newly added movie.

    If you are doing that, then your best bet is to convert all of your external movies into movie clips and load them all in frame 2.

    You can do this easily (if your external movies are not super complicated) by making a new movie clip and importing the swf into the new movieclip.

    Also, I have not and do not plan to learn AS3, so maybe there is some super fancy new way of doing it that I do not know about.

    • why no AS3? no more flash for you?acescence
    • i'm learning as3 now. by learning i mean confused, upset and suicidal...airey
    • I'm at a point where I am happier concentrating on design and interaction and hiring a full-on developer >>flashbender
