I'm being a pest today. Anyway, I have a primary SWF files with buttons to browse through pages. If I import another SWF into the file, can I use these buttons to control the imported one? Should be a simple enough question.

localconnection should be used if the two swfs are open in 2 browser windows (or 1 browser window and a projector file or 2 projector files).

otherwise, if your using loadMovie(), loadMovieNum() or loadClip() you should be using the normal path.filename reference.

if you try and load it in run time , then it should be possible yes =) maybe not..all depends

this.createEmptyMovieClip("yourMovieClip",this.getNextHighestDepth());
yourMovieClip.loadMovie("theSWFyouWannaLoad.swf");
