    When I use the Loader and URLRequest functions to load an external swf into the movie, are there any variables characteristic of the external swf? Can I fade in or out the whole file upon load or unload?

    Also, can I arrange multiple loaded files to overlap the way I want them?

    In the help file it appears you can set the front-to-back order by using the addChildAt function.

    simply implemented I did:

    var myContent:Loader = new Loader();
var myMenu:Loader = new Loader();



myContent.load(new URLRequest("drink.swf"));
myMenu.load(new URLRequest("header2.swf"));

addChildAt(myContent,0);
addChildAt(myMenu,1);
    Code (markup):
    but myContent is still overlapping on top of myMenu

    nevermind. for some reason the header2.swf contained the overlapped drink.swf. so no matter what I did it would always appear on top, even though the main swf was loading it properly.
