loading external swf

[crazytyler34]

I want to load an external swf file named "carousel.swf" when someone goes to the "Staff" tab of my website. web.umr.edu/~ctnn87

I have put this code on the 2nd frame of the content_mc movie clip

Code: Select all

content_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
    trace ("onEnterFrame called");
    shell.loadmovie('carousel.swf');
    shell._x = 0;
    shell._y = 0;
}

i have tried many things but cant get it to work. to access the .fla file here is the link web.umr.edu/~ctnn87/esc_web.fla

i have been struggling with this for months, so any help would be appreciated

Do you actually have another movie clip inside of the content_MC movieclip called shell?

If so the structure would need to be something like:

content_mc.shell.loadmovie ('carousel.swf')

i think the problem is that im not calling the loadmovie function at the correct time. im having problems figuring out what action makes the panel move.
