MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-FLASH LITE 2.X ACTIONSCRIPT LANGUAGE Reference page 59

Normally, Flash Player displays a single SWF file and then closes. The
action lets you display several SWF files at once and switch among SWF files without loading
another HTML document.
If you want to specify a target instead of a level, use
.
loadMovieNum()
Flash Player has a stacking order of levels starting with level 0. These levels are like layers of
acetate; they are transparent except for the objects on each level. When you use
, you must specify a level in Flash Player into which the SWF file will load.
loadMovieNum()
When a SWF file is loaded into a level, you can use the syntax,
number, to target the SWF file.
When you load a SWF file, you can specify any level number and you can load SWF files into
a level that already has a SWF file loaded into it. If you do, the new SWF file will replace the
existing SWF file. If you load a SWF file into level 0, every level in Flash Player is unloaded,
and level 0 is replaced with the new file. The SWF file in level 0 sets the frame rate,
background color, and frame size for all other loaded SWF files.
The
loadMovieNum()
images and SWF files, the upper left corner of the image aligns with the upper left corner of
the Stage when the file loads. Also in both cases, the loaded file inherits rotation and scaling,
and the original content is overwritten in the specified level.
