I’m hoping that someone has some answers regarding loading external SWF files….

If I attempt to load a SWF file into another template that is made for loading external SWF files, but the loading file contains movement and images that fall outside of the stage, then it never loads correctly, and always gets messed up. Are there any workaround for this, and are there any ways to manipulate the SWF file that I’d like to load so that this doesn’t happen?

Also, are there any templates here that are just better for loading external SWFs?

Thanks for any and all tips.

Have you tried resizing the movieclip that works as a loader in the main file,with the same size as the external swf? Also,you can check out my profile,I have some external swf loaders which may help you out.

Oh, you know… I hadn’t thought of that. That’s a great idea. Still, the problem comes when SWFs that have content that bleeds in and out of the frame comes into play. Sure, the backdrop may be 750×450, but the actual content extends well beyond that in every direction, and the timeline moves it and and off the stage. Does this makes sense? So, even if the external swf matched the swf originally meant to be loaded onto the stage of the main file, it still wouldn’t work because of the content that exists beyond the stage.
