I'm trying to make a SWF that will load a movie into one of its frames (frame 2 at _layer0), sit there for the durration of that frame, then go to the next frame. The trouble is, when it loads that movie into it's second frame, it get stuck on that second frame and doesn't go to the next frame. <_< What do I have to do to get it to go to the next frame? This is probably a stupid question, but I'm getting annoyed with it.

Would you happen to be using Adobe Flash CS3-4? I really don't know how to help you with this, but I kinda want to know what you are trying to do it with. Also, when something goes wrong, some small detail(s) are usually overlooked in the process of making it. Scrutinize over your work and try to find any anomalies.

Hmm. Perhaps it was a structural error on my part. I'm a little new to this, so just to confirm. Does loadMovie load the movie into the frame with the actionscript, or into the following frames? I thought it was the frame it's in, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

remember that movies ar not loaded instantly. It takes some frames before the file is fully loaded, and can be used on stage. The best way to go is to write a preloader that loads everything, saves it in variables, and when everything is loaded, you can add it to the stage very quickly.

I think there are even libraries around on the net which allow you to do it with some easy commands.

I don't know any myself, though

Well that makes sense. I'm making screensaver for use offline, so loading time isn't a big concern.
