Hi Andrew,
both are possible, either loading it in a child, or replacing root
completely. Look into loadmovie and loadmovienum.
With respect to the flashvars, no clue, you'll have to try, but if not, I
think:
loadMovieNum ("oldswf.swf?"+[replace by string with original flashvars], 0);
will do the trick, you'll have to experiment first though, maybe the
originals vars are retained automatically.
regards
JC
