[mtasc] Add a swf file to another swf file

[Guillaume Démurgé]

Thanks for your answer. I know what is a shared library, and infortunatly 
this is not a good solution for my project, because if i do that, all the 
project must be used when i will add a new page, and the final file (i think 
it will contains more than 100 pages) will have a big library and i will 
have a 20-30Mb file !!!

That i want is to have a loader (it will have a library with pictures for 
the buttons, and some another things) and display a loading animation when 
he loads each page... and each page wil be a 200-300kb file.

I have that solution : do that with xml files witch contains links to the 
pictures and information of the placement and the texte on the page... but 
for the fonts ? they must be in the library and can't be used otherwise ?

When i did my tests i saw that it work when i load the file from the _root. 
but in this case, it delete the loader to replace it by the new file (and 
replace the library) isn't it ?

If you have another ideas for my project... don't hesitate !

Thanks for your help all !

Guillaume
