load movie clips in Flash and have them play

[Guest_imported]

I am creating a swf file in swish. I can't get it to run as a movie in flash. What do I have to do!

Have you checked out

http://www.flashkit.com

or

http://www.flashplanet.com

?
They have active forums and tutorials on Swish.

Apart from that, I'm with Oldnewbie on this one.

Hope it helps

OK! Now that I know what <i>swish</i> is... My guess would be that you import this .swf into your flash movie as usual, or use the load movie command!
What about you davdesign?

Ho! Well... I'm so old... can't get use to those [rather than <! Will this work out?
BTW... can you edit a post here?

;-) sooldnewbie, has a nice ring to it!

Ain't got a clue about Swish itself, but I'm with oldnewbie. Try creating a rectangle with the same dimensions as your Swish movie. Convert this rectangle to a movie-clip and call the instance on the stage &quot;swish&quot; (or whatever you want). Note the x and y location of &quot;swish&quot;. In your actions layer put in the actions:

Load Movie (&quot;yourSWISHmovie.swf&quot;, &quot;/swish&quot
Set Property (&quot;/swish&quot;, X Position) = &quot;notedXposition&quot;
Set Property (&quot;/swish&quot;, Y Position) = &quot;notedYposition&quot;

That should do it. Sorry if this is already really obvious to you, but it might help someone else if it works okay.
