I have one movie which has a scroll pane component on it. The contentPath of
the scroll pane is benches.swf. When benches.swf is loaded, there is then a
button which loads another movie (monolith.swf). The problem is that
benches.swf is being loaded onto level 0, so I can't unload it when I load the
other movie, and this results in the buttons for benches.swf showing "through"
monolith.swf. I guess what I need to be able to do is load the benches.swf
into level 2, so that when I load monolith.swf into that same level, it
replaces it?. But the default with the scroll pane seems to load benches.swf
onto level 0. How do I get it to load onto a different level?

why not simply replace the contentPath of the scrollpane with monolith.swf?

I tried doing it with the following script, but that is not working for some
reason... any suggestions?

stop();

monolith.onPress = function() {
_root.benchScrollPane.contentPath('monolith.swf');
}

loading your swf to different level will NOT solve your problem.

try this:

in your monolith fla, create a layer at bottom, create an invisible button in
this layer cover the whole stage. now user will not be able to click thru your
monolith.swf...

but there will be a hand cursor right? to solve this, give an instance name to
the invisible button in bottom layer, e.g. we call it inv_btn.
attach script below to the keyframe which contains the inv_btn.

inv_btn.useHandCursor = false;

good luck.
