How can I nest SWF files?

Question

I'm designing a site that will have quite a lot of flash in
it. I don't want the user to have to wait until the entire site
loads, but rather load the different sections as they go to them,
so if someone never visits a certain part of the site, the don't
have to wait for it to load. I've seen other sites that when you
click on a certain flash button, you get an additional "loading"
screen inside the flash window you're already looking at. I'm just
wanting to know how to "nest" the SWF files.

At the moment, when I import a swf into a flash project and
then try to put it on the stage, it just sits on the first frame
and does nothing.

Thanks.

you don't nest swf files. you want load the external swf files.

you can use loadMovie() or loadMovieNum() and make your own preloader code or you can use the moviecliploader class and its listener's onLoadProgress method.
