Can you load a swf into its self? 1

[natwod]

I am trying to get a specific effect that I will not take the time to explain, but I'm pretty sure that it requires a second layer. I think I could achieve the effect by loading the movie into its self, on a higher level (I want to keep it down to one swf), but I have tried, and from what I can tell, the second loaded file overtakes the first one, covering everything up even though the frames playing in level2 are blank except for sound. I tried to get it to load into level 2, and then referred to it as '_level2' for things like gotoAndPlay.

Any ideas?

THANKS!!

hi there,

its possible to load the movie in itself, you did it right but one thing u should change that in this case you will be using target instead of level.Just make a dummy movie clip and name it an instance, like

loadMovie("untitled-1.swf", "as"

in this case "as" is the instance name of that dummy movie clip, now your movie will not overcome the root movie.

hope this solves your problem.
