Making a screen for Flash CS5

Question

I'm making my own gallery which a a collection of SWFs. So far, I've manage to load my swf files in my movieclip, but the problem is that it doesn't look like they are showing in the 'screen' I made.

Is there any way to use my 'screen' movieclip as a mask?

Code used:

button1.onRelease=function(){        
loadMovie("house.swf","screen");        
}
button2.onRelease=function(){        
screen.loadMovie("ninja.swf");      
}
button3.onRelease=function(){        
screen.loadMovie("ball.swf");       
}
button4.onRelease=function(){        
screen.loadMovie("car.swf");        
}

Answer 1

Take one movieclip, and keep instance name as mc inside the screen movieclip, and apply masking for mc movieclip for specific area inside the screen

see below code

button1.onRelease=function(){        
loadMovie("house.swf",screen.mc);        
}
button2.onRelease=function(){        
screen.mc.loadMovie("ninja.swf");      
}

or

use setMask() function
