hello community,

this is what i am trying to achieve. when a user clicks on a button, it will play an animation or display a picture in its own window. to my understanding, this can be done using the getUrl function. but when i attempted this, the movie loads and plays on the flash document itself. what am i doing wrong? please help.

You need to first creat an emty MC and choose an instence name for it and then load your external file into it.

loadMovie("external.swf", _root.YourInstanceName);
