Loading multiple Flash movies

In the age old tradition of sprinting before you can crawl . . . .

I want to load 3 movies into one. I would like to then have them run one after another, the first running while the other 2 load.

I have looked at loadmovie() and just dont have the time to work it out for myself without having someone take me through it.

To make things simple, I have movies called 1,2 and 3.swf and the file they are to be loaded into is called loader.swf and they are all in the same directory.

The reason for doing this is because I have it working using Javascript but it take the focus everytime I change movie and I dont want it to. Thus I thought I would try this.

Thanks for any help

Missed out that the 3 movies are different each time the movie loads. Also if a movie that is loaded jumps to a URL on clicking it, can I override that from the main movie, or can I open another url at the same time? either would do.

do you want the movies to load in sequence? first one, then two, then 3?

If so, do you want 2 to load after 1 is complete, and so on?

Hi Iammontoya,

I would like them to play in sequence, Ideally I would like 2 to load while 1 plays, but if all 3 are loaded first that is not too much of a problem as the files are quite small (20-75k) and I could add a preloader. Iam am more interested in the dynamic loading aspect.
