hi there..,

i want to know is there anyway/trick to make multiple stage??

what i mean is that there is only one stage in swf player whisc is the main timeline..,

what i want is to make some more "stage"  beside the original (the main timeline's stage)..,

this "stage" should function just like the main timeline's stage yet i coul define it's dimension and add loaded swf into (the swf shoul play only inside it's parent/containing "stage")

i tried making movie clip / sprite for holding it but it just didn't work cause the loaded swf played outside it's parent/containing "stage" it did however manage to get the right dimension of it's parent.

most obvious clue to this wrongness it when i tried loaded slideshow swf which use the transition manager effect..,

Correct answer Ned Murphy

There is and can only be one stage.  Your approach using a sprite/movieclip would be the correct way to go, but you have to make sure your loaded files are not making reference to the stage in their code, otherwise they will be talking to the main swf's stage.

If you want to contain the swf within its pseudo-stage, you will need to use a mask for it so that only what is under the mask displays.
