Loading External .SWFs into Flash

Question

OK, so I asked this question earlier :http://forums.adobe.com/message/5135410#5135410I didn't seem to get into much detail. My first question is, did Ishkur somehow make a transparent background for his external .swfs, or did he make a regular one, and used some sort of code or setting to make it so it appears into the bottom-right? And my second question is, where do I apply this code / where does it go? Does it get paired with the buttons which signal the flash to load the external .swfs? I sincerely apologize for my non-stop customer support ._.myMovieClipInstance.loadMovie("myExternalMovie.swf");  // here only the filename is given, indicating the SWF file is in the same folder as the parent swf

You don't have to do anything to get a transparent background. When you load an swf into another swf, the loaded file has no background, only the primary file does.

You place your code based on what you intend to trigger the loading. If it is a button that will trigger the loading then you place the code in the button's code. If it will occur when you enter a particular frame then you place the code in that frame.
