loadMovie();

basic example..

//create an empty movieClip symbol
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcHolder", 15);
// set it's position on the stage
mcHolder._x = 40;
mcHolder._y = 40;
//to load the swf into the empty movieClip.
mcHolder.loadMovie("mygame.swf", this);

if you then called
mcHolder.loadMovie("anothergame.swf", this);
it would remove mygame.swf from within mcHolder and load anothergame.swf in it's place

at gotoandlearn.com, around the 10th tute down on the left hand menu you'll find an example of the movieClipLoader method. a much better method over the long run. one preloader for all imported files rather than one for each.

this is what you ment wasn't it? as you say you created a game i wonder if i've got the wrong end of the stick.
