swf in keyframe?

[ArizonaRedneck]

hello. I am new to flash. I followed a tutorial online that showed me how to make a simple movie that when you press a button a sound plays, and when you press it again, it stops playing. This is working perfectly. My problem is that I want to put this movie inside of another one. What I tried doing was to import the .swf into the library and then drag in onto the stage into a new keyframe. The movie shows up, but it just loops forever and doesn't function.

What is the proper way to include a .swf file into a different movie???

create an empty movie clip and place on the stage. give it an instance name (myClip, say). then add to main timeline

myClip.loadMovie("some.swf");

thanks. I thought it would be something simple.
