There is one.
Create a new AS3 file attach the as2 file and when you want to show the AS3 file just attach the AS3 file too.
1. Create a new AS3 file.
2. Attach as2 file and position it where you want.
3. When you want to add the AS3 file, just add it the same way you have added the AS2 file.

I hope this was clear enough.

var loadit = new Loader();
addChild(loadit);
loadit.load(new URLRequest("yourSWFfile.swf"));

Do the same thing when loading your other file.
For example, if you want do start one animation after a certain time, just add a timer and when the action is triggered do something like this:

var loadit2 = new Loader();
addChild(loadit2);
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("yourOtherSWF.swf"));

Hope this helps.

i 'm not following.. i have an as2 file and i want to load an as3 file (that plays an animation with flasheff2) .
so the the root movie must always be an as3 file for this to work?
as3(root file) --load--> as2( my main as2 project) --load--> as3 (my flasheff2 animation) .
is this correct?

Portokallidis,


FlashEff2 effect does not work once it is loaded into an AS2 swf. Ionut suggested to create an AS3 file and load your AS2 project and the FlashEff 2 animation in it.
