loadMovie(),loadMovieNum()

[al2000123]

Hi!
For my interface I required to load swf files on clicks of buttons, into an empty movie Clip, and with the much-appreciated help of Sgaspar11, I just about managed it. Now I just noticed that if there is a swf UNDER THE NEWLY LOADED movieclip, its buttons are activated through the new swf, above it. I am going wrong somewhere- but I'm lost- Am I making sense?
To load the swf in a movie clip, I have done the following:

on(release){
this.shell.loadMovie("movieclip.swf",1);
_root._x = 0;
_root._y = 0;
}


Can someone please help me?

Thanks!

It is because loading movies is like placing them in layers. The movies in higher numerical levels are closer to the front and will be visible above the ones in lower levels. The blank space becomes like a transperancy. If you want it to just kick out all of the content of the previous movie and load fresh. Load the movies into the same level. Or stack accordingly . . .

Thanks a lot Travis- I'll work with that. In the meanwhile I've redesigned the interface to avoid the problem- but its a compromise.

Thanks again for your time and advice! Its greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
