I have a main timeline ..I want to load an external .swf into level 10. that .swf has a script to load additional external .swfs. Can I load any of the third level .swfs into level 10 or do I have to pick another level?

load them into another level... if you load a .swf into a level that already contains another .swf it will replace it.

that's what I thought, but I had to make sure before I started.....
thx

advice: don't load them into levels, load the content into another MC [object oriented friendly]
this.createEmptyMovieClip("holde...
holder.loadMovie("external.swf")nother advice: each object should function independently, like indpendent building blocks. So your external movie should function alone regardless if it's being loaded into the main movie.

great advice from unfit... using empty or "holder" clips allows for more control in terms of placement, fading in, etc, etc, of the imported .swf.

I wondered about that method too....it seems better used for eyecandy animations and stuff that isn't likely to change out....but I may be wrong...
thankx again
