When I load a .swf into an existing .swf my computer becomes really slow. Flash also deletes some of the layers in the loaded .swf. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

I also wonder if there is possible to make flash print out every decimal when you for example search for radio chanels(I hope you get this question).

How are you loading the swf?
I normally create an emtpy_mc dynamically and replace it with the loaded one.

Can you explain the 2nd question more precisely? thx

PS: are you from sweden?

First of all I have a basic layout that does not change when i load my .swf. I use the command loadMovieNum on a button to load the .swf. How would the empty_mc command look like if I would like to load say mp3.swf when I push a button?

I have a fake radio that scans for chanels when i push a seek button. While it is searching it also displays the frequency fore example 106,3... my problem is that when the counter reaches for example 108,0 it writes out 108 and i don't want it to.

And yes, I am from Sweden....

Trying to solve my problem (which I have not done yet) I ran into another problem. I you use the command _root.createEmptyMovieClip("empty",1); is there anyway to load a movieclip into this newly created movieclip?

[funkysoul]

 loadMovie("yourloadedmovie.swf", empty);

ok, I get that... but if I write this bit of code instead:

loadMovie("MP3.swf",_root.mp3);

Does this mean that i have created i MC in _root and loaded it with mp3.swf? And if so, how do i display/play this MC?

What I am looking for is that I want to preload several .swf's and with a click load one of these clips into my "original" movie... If I just load my .swf's with a click on diffrent buttons it takes too long time. for example:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("empty",1);
mp3_btn.onPress = function(){
		loadMovie("mp3.swf", empty);
}
radio_btn.onPress = functio(){
		loadMovie("radio.swf",empty);
}

This takes too long! =)

Or is there some other way that solves my problem?

Another thing that I wondering about is if flash has a limit for maximum number of levels, movieclips, buttons, images etc.

maximum levels= 999

regarding the loading time.. I would suggest you putting a preloader into each mc.. other then that, I don't see any other workaround at the moment
