loading movie clip into another movie clip

[chrissss]

hi

i know this should be simple!

how do you load a movie clip into another movie clip
i have a main swf with a movie clip instance named sq and an external swf file named pg1.swf.
when pg1 btn is clicked i want the pg1 swf to load into the movie clip instance called sq which is in the main swf.

ive used this code on (release) {
loadMovie("pg1.swf", "sq");
}

but it dont work , the sq instance just seems to disapear and the pg1 swf dosent appear.

i can get it to work if i load it into a layer but thats not what i was trying to do , im using the target as sq.
all the files need are in the same folder.

thanks

try

on(release){
   _root.sq.loadMovie("pg1.swf");
   }

theres 2 things that might have needed changing in your code. not that this SHOULD matter, but it does sometimes, instead of putting a ,"sq) put it at the beginning like sq.loadMovie. also it might be looking for the sq inside the button, therefore i used the _root. if you dont want to go all the way up (this is in a swf that has been loaded into another, so all the way up wouldnt target correctly) you can use _parent.

hope that helps
