you can load a swf file into another swf using loadMovie(), loadMovieNum() or loadMovieClip(). is that what you want to do?

Just put the code that is inside the function in a frame of the timeline where the movie is...

this.loadMovie("mymovie.swf",moviswf);

the rest of the code is what makes you need to click

are you saying i should put this in the action

this.loadmovie("mymovie.swf",moviswf);

because i try that and this is the error i get

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=otherswif, frame=1:Line 1: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
this.loadMovie("images.swf",moviswf);

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

should i create a new layer to place this function or is it ok to place it in the action on the layer with the moviswf?

do you want to load "mymovie.swf" when your main swf starts or when a button is clicked in your main swf?

if the former, assign your button an instance name (eg, btn) and attached to a frame (NOT the button or any other object), use:

btn.onRelease=function(){

moviswf.loadMovie("mymovie.swf"); // assuming moviswf is a movieclip that you want to replace with mymovie.swf. p.s. watch your spelling of moviswf. it's probable that should be movieswf

}

if the later, just use:

moviswf.loadMovie("mymovie.swf");

That error is because you are attaching the code to the object, not the timeline. Click on a frame and enter the code.

click an empty part of the stage (to deselect everything), click your button (to select it) and in the properties panel you'll see a input field where you can type an instance name.

if you don't see a properties panel, click windows > properties.
