Special parameter is that when loading is done, it can be determined to which frame the timeline goes. Going to a frame within scene 1 or going to a frame in a different scene just enetr a framename like scene3frame5 for example. The loader component has a loaderbar with 100 frames, which allows to add your own animations.

  //set level0 to "false",
  //enter name of your main movie, stage sizes of both movies should be the same.

Movieloader Component version 1.4.0

This replaces the former version of the component before 5-21-2003. The Movieloader component has the following functions: Loading an external movie or preloading jpgs and swfs into cache, which however, can also be called by button functions. See a live version here.

How to call preloaded swfs/jpg by using buttons for example:

							pressCount = 0;

							button1.onPress = function(){
								myClip._alpha = 0;
								pressCount++;
								_root.clip1._alpha = 100;
								if(pressCount == 1){
									myClip=_root.clip1;
									pressCount = 0;
								}
							}
							
							button2.onPress = function(){
								myClip._alpha = 0;//make the previous movie invisible
								pressCount++;
								_root.clip2._alpha = 100;//make the new movie visible
								_root.clip2.gotoAndPlay("begin");//to manipulate the loaded movie
								if(pressCount == 1){
									myClip = _root.clip2;//fill the variable myClip
									pressCount = 0;//set pressCount to 0.
								}
							}

Both components are designed not to interfere each other in one movie. If there are problems please inform me.
