loadMovieNum question... 1

[adamr1001]

hi.

i am currently loading SWFs into a holder movice clip.
i read that in order to communicate between the levels i have to declare the level using loadMovieNum each time i load a SWF file.

loading the movie into a holder movieclip is no problem - but what should i add to declare its level.

i tried loadMovieNum("home.swf", 1, _root.holder);
but it didn't work.

i tried looking in the reference... but i'm finding what i'm lookin for.

thanks in advance for your help..

you dont have a level when loading into a clip
(well depends where you place the empty clip)

communicate between clips

You either load your external movies on other levels with loadMovieNum, or in an empty container movie clips with loadMovie.

loadMovieNum("home.swf", 5);
// Loads the movie on level 5

loadMovie("home.swf", "_root.HolderMC"
// Loads the movie in a container clip
// With the instance name of HolderMC

Regards,
