I have been reading  alot of tutorials about loadMovie and I've started to
experiment with them all, but I'm still running into a couple problems that 
I
can't seem to find a solution to.

1) I have a host swf file that I call in (using loadMovie) external swfs.
I've read that if one of my external files has a link that uses _root, then 
it
will by default go to the host swf file's root.  Well, that's what I want, b
ut
it won't do so.  I have a button that when clicked on should go to a flag on
the main timeline of the host file and it won't go anywhere.   Any ideas?

2) The external swfs that have worked and loaded correctly, I've been having
 a
problem with them staying on the stage beyond a keyframe.  My guess is that 
I'm
placing the actionscript in the wrong place, but I don't know where to put i
t.
Right now I have it just in a keyframe, not attached to a movieclip or butto
n.

3)  The last question refers to the order of layers.  On my stage I have thr
ee
layers: BG, menu, external swf.  I want the external swf to show up between 
the
BG and the menu on the Z axis, but no matter what layer I place the
actionscript for the swf file, it still always ends up covering over the men
u.

Thanks for any info...
