I am using Flash 8 Professional,and I am trying to load a swf into a movie
clip, I never had a problem with other versions, but I can't make it work with
Flash 8.
What I did it was to asign a scrip to the first keyframe, which is

loadMovie("welcome.swf", "this.container");

-previously I create a mc and I assigned it the intance name of "container", I
have done this several time on other versions , so there is any changes on
Flash 8 so it is done differently.

I had similar issues. What worked for me was something like:
loadMovie("myMovie.swf","_level1");
Loading into levels appeared to work consistently.

Well simply because your code isn't correct! hehe

I suppose the type checking in FP8 is more strict than earlier versions,
because you are trying to use the reference to a movieclip as a string.

When you use loadMovie(URL, MOVICLIP); - the way you do with two parameters,
it requires a direct reference to the movieclip OR the instance name of the
movieclip as the second parameter - you are doing a kind of both things - you
put the reference in "" - as a string which is wrong...

So what you have to do is to use on of the ways - or a third one ;)

loadMovie("welcome.swf", "container");
loadMovie("welcome.swf", this.container);
this.container.loadMovie("welcome.swf"); // I prefer this one, as it seems
more object oriented

Hope it solves your problem...

I am sorry, it was some kind of script in the container instace, thats why it didn't work, but your script works perfectly!, thank you!!
