I have a flash web site and I'm trying to load a flash publicity in this flash web site.

I'm using
pub.loadmovie(pub1.swf);

where pub is the occurance where I want to position it.

My problem is that at the end of this animation I need to load another one at the exact same position wich I can't do.
All I'm able to do is load something at the top left corner.

I put the fallowing code to get it load at the top left corner
loadMovieNum("pub2.swf", 1);


What do I have to put at th end of my publicity to make it load on the pub occurance ?

I change what you said and it still not loading anything, it just continue and loop the pub that was first loaded.

It as if I didn't put any code at the end of each pub

Humm I have a little problem a bit different now.
I will have more then 2 pubblicity. and I want them random...
What I'm doign is this for the first one :

loadVars = new loadVars();
loadVars.load("pub.php");
loadVars.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
pub.loadMovie(this.var1);
} else
{
pub.loadMovie("pub1.swf");
}
}

This is all working find
Now at the end of each pub I put the fallowing but it not working at all the first pub that load just loop..

loadVars = new loadVars();
loadVars.load("pub.php");
loadVars.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
this.loadMovie(this.var1);
}
}

When you use 'this', be careful what it refers to in the context it's used. In the onLoad() event of a LoadVars objects it refers to that object (as in every event), so you can't use 'this.loadMovie(...)' there. Try 'this._parent.loadMovie(...)' or '_root.pub.loadMovie(..)' instead.

A simple way is to replace "this" at the end of pub1.swf:
this.loadMovie("pub2.swf");

The loaded movie takes the instance properties of the MC it's loaded into, so when you load pub1.swf into the 'pub' instance, the 'this' keyword inside pub1.swf will point to the 'pub' instance, just as if you said
pub.loadMovie("pub2.swf");
in the main timeline.

You could also just place a stop() in the last frame of pub1.swf, and watch the loaded MC from the main timeline:
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
if (pub._currentframe == pub._totalframes){
pub.loadMovie("pub2.swf");
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}

cheers,
