There may be threads describing this but ive left it all too late to look, my assessment for a flash project is on monday and ive got to go to work all weekend.
I have a flash document with a button and i was wanting to link a swf file to it but nothing i do seems to work, is there anywas of doing it without using a url. It doesnt let me put the swf file into the new documents library or on stage, i just really want to link the 2 together through a button, can anyone help?
 
how do you mean "link to it" as in you want the button on the flash movie to load and play the external .swf file?

if so u can use the code:

on(release){
loadMovieNum("mymovie.swf", 1);
}

this will make your external swf play over the top of the current movie...

im not exactly sure what your trying to achive tho
