Loading Movie in Movie... possible?

[tilotama]

I usually develop my projects in Flash 5 & Flash MX. However, I was recently required to develop my new project in Director MX, so i have to find a few Lingo equivalents to ActionScript.

ActionScript enables an *.swf file to be loaded into another *.swf file via loadMovieNum (using levelN) or loadMovie (using target). Is this function available in Director MX?

This is so that I can create a main file, containing the 'Main Component's Buttons' on one part of the movie & load different movies into the main movie. Therefore, I will not have to re write the codes for each button in each movie.

Your assistance is so much appreciated!

TQ berry much!

The closest way to do this that I can think of at the moment is to use: play movie X

as in
on mouseDown
play movie X
end

X being the name of your movie.
Then you would put your buttons and their behavoirs in an external cast library file which can be accessed by all your .dir files.
